In this activity, learners explore density and buoyancy as they design and construct rafts.

In this activity (on page 4), learners create a submarine using a plastic sandwich bag. This is a fun way to learn about buoyancy and how captured gas can cause objects to float.

In this activity related to flight, learners build a tiny stream channel to investigate how fluids (air and water) change speed as they flow between and around objects.

In this activity, learners construct a rocket powered by the pressure generated from an effervescing antacid tablet reacting with water, and build a launch pad for their rocket.

In this activity, learners work in teams to build and test paper airplanes. Learners try to fly their airplanes directly on the runway and earn points for accuracy.

This activity provides instructions for making an aircraft that can really fly using a straw and paper hoops!

In this activity, learners work in teams to construct and test fly drinking straw rockets. Learners explore how changing the rockets' fins affect flight distance.

This assortment of mathematical games can be played while traveling.

In this activity, learners make and test fly paper helicopters. Learners use templates to create paper helicopters and then take take turns flying them in the air.

In this activity, learners watch a video to learn about a couple who built a home out of shipping containers in Brooklyn, New York.

This online simulation game explores the different consequences of water levels on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest.

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 follow the template to build and fly a paper helicopter.

In this activity, learners construct and launch rockets using simple materials and their understanding of chemical reactions.

Learners act as engineers and design mini submarines that move in the water like real submarines.

In this activity (on page 2), learners create a submarine using a plastic cup. This is a fun way to learn about buoyancy and density.

In this activity, learners engineer a flying glider using paper hoops and a drinking straw.

In this physics activity, challenge learners to make a rubber band-powered spool racer. Demonstrate principles of motion as well as potential and kinetic energy.

In this physics activity, challenge learners to make a race-car out of a coffee can and rubber band. Demonstrate motion, forces, kinetic and potential energy and friction.
