In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts and explore the laws of physics. Learners discover that everything you throw or shoot on earth travels in a parabola.

Learners drop two different masses of play dough and observe how long it takes them to hit the ground.

In this activity, learners will engineer three different parachutes to test how well each one works.

Learners engage in close observation of falling objects. They determine it is the amount of air resistance, not the weight of an object, which determines how quickly an object falls.

In this physics activity, learners will build their own parachutes out of tissue paper. They will explore the effects of weight, height, and design on the parachutes' speed and stability.

In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.
