Community Science Workshop Network

In this activity, learners build a tiny but powerful flashlight out of simple materials. Use this activity to introduce learners to electrical circuits and conductivity.

In this activity, learners construct a device that allows them to view 2-D images in 3-D.

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts and explore the laws of physics. Learners discover that everything you throw or shoot on earth travels in a parabola.

In this activity, learners build a water squirter using a PVC pipe, dowel, and foam. This activity is great for the summer time and introduces learners to forces and water pressure.

In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing tube zithers, stringed instruments from Southeast Asia and the South Pacific.

In this activity, learners watch a figure "magically" float up through the air.

In this activity, learners build their own sound machines and explore the interplay of motion and sound.

In this activity, learners create a cool floating animal using the science of magnetism. Learners discover what happens when a piece of magnetic metal enters a magnet's field.

In this activity, learners build a carousel toy that spins when pushed down.

In this activity, learners build a toy that flies in circles. This activity introduces learners to center of mass, torque, and rotational motion.
