Balloon Car
New York Hall of ScienceAdd to list DetailsBuild a car that runs on air. Using household materials, experiment with the power of air to create thrust powerful enough to move a homemade car. This activity allows you to explore a range of...
Up and Over
New York Hall of ScienceAdd to list DetailsThis is an activity about Newton's First Law of Motion - a body in motion tends to stay in motion, or a body at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force. Learners will...
Catapult
New York Hall of ScienceAdd to list DetailsBuild 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>...
How Do Probes Get To Space?
New York Hall of ScienceAdd to list DetailsInvestigate 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...
Loony Balloons
New York Hall of ScienceAdd to list DetailsIn this activity, learners investigate how changing the center of gravity of a balloon affects how it travels. Learners fill a balloon with a little bit of water and insert into an empty balloon....
Rocket Pinwheel
New York Hall of ScienceAdd to list DetailsThis is an activity about motion, power, air and Newton’s Third Law of Motion, which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Learners will harness the power of thrust...
Build Your Own Robot Arm
New York Hall of ScienceAdd to list DetailsIn this lesson, learners develop a robot arm using common materials. Learners explore design, construction, and teamwork, as well as materials selection and use. The robot arm must be at least 18...
