In this activity, learners explore how pneumatics and hydraulics could be used to produce movement in a robotic arm.

In this physics activity, learners build their own rockets out of film canisters and construction paper.

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

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.

In this activity, learners explore trebuchet design. Teams of learners construct trebuchets from everyday materials.

In this inquiry-based activity, learners investigate the basic forces of flight as they construct their own paper glider that represents a rainforest creature from Borneo (large, tropical island in So

In this engineering activity, challenge learners to design a car using only 3 straws, 4 Lifesavers™, 1 piece of paper, 2 paper clips, tape, and scissors.

Learners use a spring scale to drag an object such as a ceramic coffee cup along a table top or the floor.

In this physics activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will move a load using a lever of each of the 3 classes. They will explore the differences between these classes and which are more effective.

In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Lift Off), learners will use the ever-popular soda geyser experiment to test the reactivity of the various sugar candies or mints.

In this physics activity (page nine of the pdf), learners use balloons to explore how a rocket works. It is suggested they also work to see how they can alter the velocity of the rocket.
