Rockets Away
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a simple "rocket" with ordinary household materials to demonstrate the basic principles behind rocketry and the principle of reaction.
Marble Challenge
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will try to keep a marble in a bottomless cup without touching the marble inside.
