Newton's Laws Demonstrations
Source Institutions
In this collection of demonstrations, learners explore Newton's Laws of Motion.

Pulleys
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build inexpensive pulley assemblies from pulley wheels used for sliding screen door replacement or from clothesline spreaders.

Uncanny Motion
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore motion and airflow by setting two aluminum cans on their side and blowing air in-between them.

Over the Hill
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners construct a small-scale version of a classic carnival game.

Coupled Resonant Pendulums
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover that two pendulums suspended from a common support will swing back and forth in intriguing patterns, if the support allows the motion of one pendulum to influence t

CD Air Puck
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use a compact disc to build an air puck that can glide across a smooth tabletop. The puck glides with almost no friction on a cushion of air escaping from a balloon.

Drawing Board
Source Institutions
The Drawing Board consists of a marking pen that remains stationary and a platform that swings beneath the pen, acting as a pendulum.

Take an Egg for a Spin
Source Institutions
This is an activity about friction as well as kinetic and potential energy.

Marshmallow Puff Tube
Source Institutions
In this demonstration/activity, learners observe as a regular size marshmallow is blown through a tube made from a manila file folder.

Vector Toy
Source Institutions
Walk a toy to the edge of its doom, maybe it'll fall off the edge of a table, but it will safely stop right before falling.
