In this physics crime lab or demonstration, learners pretend they are criminologists and must find the "muzzle velocity" (speed of the bullet as it leaves the gun) of a gun used to commit a crime.

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

In this physics activity (page 8-9 of the PDF), learners will explore wind energy. They will build their own windmill and see how energy from wind can be converted into a useable form.

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

Build a catapult that transforms the potential energy of a twisted rubber band into kinetic energy. Experiment with design variations so that you can hit a target with a projectile.

Perform this classic inertia demonstration to illustrate the transfer of potential energy to kinetic energy.
