Paper Bridges
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build bridges using paper and explore how much weight each bridge design can support.

Art Cars
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners design miniature cars. Learners can create a telephone car, soccer car, merry-go-round car, or any other theme car they can imagine.

Night Lights
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create night lights using a plastic cup, programmable PICO Cricket, tri-color LED, and sensor.

Push Pull Painter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create painting machines that can paint moving forwards and backwards.

Straws and Pins
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build bridges and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with straws and pins.

Moving Molecules!
Source Institutions
In this activity about molecular diffusion (located on page 2 of the PDF under Nanosilver Activity), learners will make predictions and move molecules of iodine through a seemingly solid plastic sandw

Full of Hot Air: Hot Air Balloon Building
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a model of a hot air balloon using tissue paper and a hairdryer. Educators can use this activity to introduce learners to density and its role in why things float.

Old Faithful Plumbing Investigation
Source Institutions
This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF) is a full inquiry investigation into mapping the underground “plumbing” of geysers.

Pot-in-Pot Refrigeration
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 2 of PDF), learners create a low-tech refrigerator that requires no electricity to keep food from spoiling.

Paper Airplane Contest
Source Institutions
In this fun physics activity (page 9 of the pdf), learners take part in a paper airplane design challenge.

Paper Bridge
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, challenge learners to construct a paper bridge that can support 100 pennies.

Wind Turbine
Source Institutions
Learners build a wind turbine and test it to see how much energy is created.

Motor Effect
Source Institutions
See what force a magnet has on a wire that has current running through it: will it push it, pull it, or will nothing happen? This is the foundation of a simple electric motor.

Cooling the Mummy's Tomb
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to help Pharaoh design a better insulated tomb.

Electric Gamebox Challenge
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners invent a pinball-like game where a kick stick hits a ping pong ball into a target that buzzes.

On Target
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners modify a cup so it can carry a marble down a zip line and also drop it onto a target.

Straws and Airplanes
Source Institutions
Create airplanes from straws and geometric shapes. Test them out to see how far they can fly, or how accurately they can be aimed.

The Awesome Game Race
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, learners design their own board games.

Doghouse Design
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Doghouse Design) is a full inquiry investigation into absorption and reflection of radiant energy.

Getting Your Bearings
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concept of friction and how ball bearings reduce friction.
