Make Your Own Compass
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will make their very own working compass.

3-2-1 POP!
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners build their own rockets out of film canisters and construction paper.

Find the Simple Machines
Source Institutions
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.

Motion Madness: Choose the Winner
Source Institutions
This is an online game that explores speed, range and momentum. Learners will pick the winners in a 16-team tournament in 3 events: Tug-o-war, sprint, and marathon.

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

Bottle "Tops"
Source Institutions
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.

Boomerang
Source Institutions
Everybody loves boomerangs! In this activity about force and motion, the learners will experiment with boomerangs and explore how they work. This is a great activity to get learners up and moving.

pHun with Cabbage
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners will test the pH of various foods and household substances using cabbage.

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

Which Foods Contain Sugar?
Source Institutions
In this health activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners examine ingredient labels of packaged food products to find out what sugar ingredients they contain.

Bones
Source Institutions
In this health activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will explore a unique connection betweeen the bones of the body.

Solar Energy
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 11 of PDF), learners compare the air pressure within a dark and a light bottle both heated by the sun, and discover that solar energy can be collected and stored in many ways

Buoyant Bubbles
Source Institutions
What keeps bubbles and other things, like airplanes, floating or flying in the air?

Applying Math to Astronomy
Source Institutions
In this mathematics activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will explore the relationship between the diameter and circumference of an object.

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

Design a Safer Bicycle Helmet
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners design a bicycle helmet. Participants will explore the design of bicycle helmets to gain an appreciation for the role that helmet layers play protecting the head.

Are We Almost There?
Source Institutions
In this mathematics activity, learners use a map to determine the coordinates of and distance between two locations--both by road and "as the crow flies".

Earthquake-Proof Buildings
Source Institutions
In this geology and engineering activity (page 7 of the PDF), learners build an earthquake simulator, then use it to test various building designs, exploring different materials, shapes, and design op

Edible Soil
Source Institutions
In this yummy activity about soil (page 9 of PDF), learners will create layers of soil using food. They will learn about the composition and role of each layer.

Hover Cup
Source Institutions
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.
