Jet Propulsion
Source Institutions
    
  In this two-part activity, learners work in pairs to examine the four basic stages of a turbine engine.
   
Getting There!: Navigation and Trajectory
Source Institutions
    
  In this two-part activity, learners map a navigation plan to get from Earth to Mars and back. In activity one, learners represent the orbital paths of Earth through dance and dramatic movement.
   
Vestibular-Ocular Reflex
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners will perform various investigations to understand the vestibular-ocular reflex and learn about the importance of visual cues in maintaining balance.
   
Airfoils
Source Institutions
    
  In this experiment, learners discover how an airfoil creates lift. Learners use simple materials to build an airfoil and test it at different angles to investigate Bernoulli's principle.
   
The Parachuting Egg
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners work in groups to design a parachute out of household items that keeps an egg secure when dropped from a certain height.
   
Solar Flip Book
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners make a flip book that shows the progression of two solar events on reversible sides of the flip book.
   
Lift Experiment
Source Institutions
    
  In this experiment, learners investigate how the size of a wing affects lift. Learners count the number of pennies an egg crate plane wing can hold until the plane will no longer fly.
   
Where Does Life Live?
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity (on pages 22-24 of the PDF), learners match extreme enviroments with life forms they support.
   
Get a Leg Up
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners experiment and collect data during a simulation of the fluid shifts experienced by astronauts' bodies in microgravity.
   
Make a Comet Model and Eat It!
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners build models of comets, using edible materials, to learn about comets' structure.
