Toxic Popcorn Design Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the engineering design process (EDP)—the process engineers use to solve design challenges.
Creepy Crawlers
Source Institutions
Trick your family and friends with this creepy crawler that moves up and down. In this activity, learners construct a circuit and motor device that will move a homemade spider in a spooky way.
Hand Spin Helicopter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build helicopters and launchers using wooden dowels and scrap paper. Use this activity to explore rotational motion and kinetic and potential energy.
Over the Hill
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners construct a small-scale version of a classic carnival game.
Simple Machine Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are challenged, using everyday objects, to create simple machines to complete specific tasks.
What is Energy?
Source Institutions
In this exploratory activity, learners experiment, observe and determine how various toys change from one form of energy to another.
Rotational Equilibrium
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concept of rotational equilibrium. Learners work in teams to estimate and determine the force within a mobile design.
Motorized Balancing Toy
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a toy that flies in circles. This activity introduces learners to center of mass, torque, and rotational motion.
