Stereoscope
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners construct a device that allows them to view 2-D images in 3-D.
   
Flat Flashlight
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners build a tiny but powerful flashlight out of simple materials. Use this activity to introduce learners to electrical circuits and conductivity.
   
Oily Ice
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners experiment with the density of ice, water, and oil. Learners will discover that the density of a liquid determines whether it will float above or sink below another liquid.
   
Kaleidoscope
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners build inexpensive kaleidoscopes using transparency paper and foil (instead of mirrors).
   
Magnetic Marble Run
Source Institutions
    
  Learners explore magnetism and motion as they build a simple marble run. Learners test different arrangements of plastic and cardboard tubes, bottles, and cups on a magnetic board.
   
Minibot
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners build a mini dancing robot. This engineering activity introduces learners to electricity, circuits, switches, conductivity, and motors.
   
Thumb Piano
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing a simple piano out of wood and craft sticks.
   
Micro Automata
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners build small animated toys that move.
   
Lever Cowboy
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners build a figure that moves and "comes to life" when they pull its string.
   
Newton's Cradle
Source Institutions
    
  Build your own version of the classic physics toy using simple materials.
   
Hot Air Balloon
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners build a hot air balloon using just a few sheets of tissue paper and a hair dryer.
   
Hand Spin Helicopter
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners build helicopters and launchers using wooden dowels and scrap paper. Use this activity to explore rotational motion and kinetic and potential energy.
