In this indoor and/or outdoor activity, learners make an anemometer (an instrument to measure wind speed) out of a protractor, a ping pong ball and a length of thread or fishing line.

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

In this activity, learners discover the difficulty of ocean exploration by human beings as they investigate water pressure.

In this simple activity, learners discover how a mere piece of paper can be used to hold up the weight of a heavy book.

In this quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Balloon Fiesta Activity), learners will see the effects of convection and understand what makes hot air balloons rise.

In this physics activity, learners will investigate the strength of egg shells.

Learners develop an understanding of air pressure in two different activities.

In this activity, learners will build a stomp-powered launcher to blast off paper rockets they design. Materials can be found at a local hardware store or you may already have them at home.
