In this activity, learners explore the concept of how aerospace engineering has impacted sports, specifically exploring the design of golf balls.

Build your own version of the classic physics toy using simple materials.

In this activity, learners explore the history, design and motion of spinning tops. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own tops out of everyday items.

In this activity, learners build helicopters and launchers using wooden dowels and scrap paper. Use this activity to explore rotational motion and kinetic and potential energy.

In this activity, learners explore motion, energy, and electricity by constructing bottle cars that run on motors.

In this activity, learners construct speedy vehicles made out of paper plates and powered by twisted rubber bands.

In this activity, learners build an old-fashioned paddle boat out of simple materials.

In this activity, learners use a compass, powerful magnet, and copper magnet wire to build a special generator known as a dynamo.

In this exploratory activity, learners experiment, observe and determine how various toys change from one form of energy to another.

In this activity, learners build a special rolling can that returns back to you when you push it forward. Use this activity to demonstrate the transfer of energy between kinetic and potential energy.

In this activity, learners build styrofoam boats powered by twisted rubber bands.

In this activity, learners review the history of gumball machines and explore potential and kinetic energy, while working in teams to build a gumball slide.
