Learners set up books with rubber bands stretched between the books. When two identical books are stretched apart and released, they move back toward each other an equal distance.

To learn how friction affects motion, learners build a measurement tool from a rubber band and other simple materials.

Learners attach an egg to a rubber-band bungee cord and drop the egg.

Learners build and investigate pendulums of different lengths. They discover that the longer the string of the pendulum, the longer the time it takes to swing.

In this activity, learners make a simple spring-like scale using a rubber band instead of a spring, and calibrate the scale in newtons (N).
