In this activity, learners build a racecar using only a rubber band, spool, straw, and paper clip! This racer is a classic toy that zips across a flat surface.

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 physics activity, learners construct a small-scale version of a classic carnival game.

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

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

This is an activity about friction as well as kinetic and potential energy.

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 explore how two cylinders that look the same may roll down a ramp at different rates.

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