In this physics activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will make a can that will roll back after it has been rolled away to observe the interactions of kinetic and potential energy.

In this physics activity, learners attempt to lift a jar full of rice using only a spoon.

In this physics activity, learners build their own rockets out of film canisters and construction paper.

This is a web activity about simple machines. Learners will explore a lawn mower and identify six different simple machines which work together to help make our lives easier.

In this physics activity, learners will gain a better understanding of how friction, inertia, and mass affect objects.

In this physics activity about rotational inertia, learners use a spinning top made out of a bottle cap and a nail to explore how changing the axis of rotation affects how the energy is used.

In this geology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners simulate an earthquake with little more than an elastic band and drinking straws.

In this physics activity (page 12 of the PDF), learners explore potential and kinetic energy by rolling different sized marbles down an inclined plane.

Is this activity concentrating on physical science, learners build their very own miniature hovercraft out of a paper cup. Using it, they can explore the concepts of friction and force.

In this fun and, at times, hilarious force and motion activity, learners will use household objects to build a crazy contraption and see how far they can get a tennis ball to move.

In this physics related activity which requires adult supervision, learners make their own powerful water rocket and, with it, explore Newton's Third Law of Motion.

In this activity (page 10 of the PDF) learners will explore the historical progression of siege weapons to gain an understanding of how the addition and modification of parts can change the efficiency

In this physics activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will explore how energy from moving water can be used.

In this physics activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will move a load using a lever of each of the 3 classes. They will explore the differences between these classes and which are more effective.

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.

This is an online activity about simple machines. Learners will try their hand at putting these amazing devices to work. They will use several simple machines to help "build" a tree house.

In this activity about potential and kinetic energy, learners get to roll a can across the floor and then watch it roll back to them as if by magic. This activity is always great for looks of wonder!

In this activity about transfer of energy, learners get to build their own catapult using nothing more than a plastic spoon and some tape.

In this physics activity (page nine of the pdf), learners use balloons to explore how a rocket works. It is suggested they also work to see how they can alter the velocity of the rocket.
