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

Learners construct a rocket from a balloon propelled along a guide string.

In this experiment, learners examine how pressure affects water flow. In small groups, learners work with water and a soda bottle, and then relate their findings to pressure in the deep ocean.

Learners construct and launch paper helicopters.

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

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

Learners conduct four simple experiments to demonstrate the effects of air pressure.

In this activity, learners explore Boyle's Law and discover that water will boil at room temperature if its pressure is lowered.

In this physics activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will build a class 1 lever and hypothesize and test the distances two objects need to be placed from the fulcrum in order to balance.
