Build a catapult that transforms the potential energy of a twisted rubber band into kinetic energy. Experiment with design variations so that you can hit a target with a projectile. <b>...

This is an activity about inertia, Newton's First Law of Motion. Learners will discover how an egg at rest, or any object at rest, stays that way. Materials are simple items you can find...

In this activity, learners complete simple exercises to investigate the relationship between force, area and pressure and their effects on materials. Use this activity to introduce learners to how...

Explore the effects of gravity on a slowly falling object: a parachute you make out of plastic bags, string and stones. You'll see how small and large parachutes act differently and the same,...

Investigate how force and thrust work to propel rockets into outer space. Build a rocket: a blown-up balloon taped to a drinking straw threaded through some string. The rocket follows Newton's...

This is an activity about circular motion. Learners will explore the laws of motion and force by observing circular motion. All you need to do this activity is a clear balloon, a penny and a marble...

In this quick activity, learners break the tension that happens when water develops a "skin." Learners use water, pepper and some soap to discover the wonders of surface tension—the force...
