In this pencil and paper activity, learners work in pairs and simulate how astronomical spacecraft and computers create images of objects in space.

In this activity, learners build a hot air balloon using just a few sheets of tissue paper and a hair dryer.

In this engineering activity (page 3 of PDF), young learners investigate how a pole can be made stable by “planting” its base in the ground or adding supports to the base.

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

Learners conduct two activities to investigate two properties of liquids: density and viscosity. In a clear container, learners stack 7 different liquids which will layer according to their density.

This activity is a sensory experience that recreates the sounds of a pond at night.

In this activity on page 24, learners perform experiments to examine whether or not trash can float, blow around, or wash away.

In this nutrition/food science activity, learners conduct an experiment and record data to compare the amount of fat in different foods.

In this water activity, learners test which objects float and which sink. Learners discover that objects behave differently in water.

Learners turn over a random selection of cards from a larger set. From the words revealed, they try to determine the sentence represented on the larger set of cards.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design a planktonic organism that will neither float like a cork nor sink like a stone.

In this activity, learners build a bird that flies in place with help from a motor, wire, and some straws.

In this activity, learners build and test a compass. Learners work in pairs and pretend they are stuck in the wilderness at night.

In an investigation called "Shape It!" learners craft tiny boats out of clay, set them afloat on water and then add weight loads to them, in order to explore: how objects stay afloat in water; what th

In this activity, learners build a speedboat using paint paddles, a propeller, and film canister. Learners attach a simple circuit and motor to the boat to power the propellers.

In this investigation, learners explore the force known as buoyancy by placing various objects into water and observing how they behave (for example, which sink more quickly, which float, how much wat

Learners drop two different masses of play dough and observe how long it takes them to hit the ground.

In this genetics activity, learners discover how to extract DNA from green split peas.

In this activity, learners build a seesaw powered by magnets.

This lesson guide includes six simple and quick activities to help learners better understand Bernoulli's Principle.
