Egg Drop

A engineering project that challenges kids to design a contraption able to protect an egg from being dropped above the ground using concepts of physics such as gravity and Newton's third law.

Clay Volcano

A chemistry project that demonstrates how acids and bases work to form reactions that mimic the way a volcano would erupt.

Spectroscope

A chemistry project that disperses the many different component colors made from unique elements and wavelengths in light that make its color.

Hydraulic Target

An engineering project that uses pressure from liquids to demonstrate how fluids act when in motion.

Bubble Machine

Students create bubbles using a sock, plastic bottle, and soap, exploring surface tension, air pressure, and fluid properties.

Spinning Sculptures

Students build a spinning sculpture with batteries, wire, and magnets to explore electromagnetism and how homopolar motors create motion.

Vibrating Bottle Bots

Students design bottle bots using caps, batteries, and vibration motors. They explore electric circuits, energy conservation, motor function, and surface friction while building simple, self-propelling robots.

Wind Powered Car

Students design a wind-powered car using cardboard, straws, skewers, and bottle caps. The project applies Newton’s First Law and explores motion, friction, and distance vs. displacement.

Slingshot Rocket

Students build a slingshot using popsicle sticks, rubber bands, and tape to explore how elastic potential energy converts into motion, demonstrating concepts like force and projectile motion.

Marble Machine

Students build a gravity-powered machine to sort marbles by size. The project explores gravity, potential and kinetic energy, and uses only gravity to create a functional sorting system.

Trigger Launcher

Students build a trigger-based launcher to explore projectile motion, trajectory, force, and work. The project shows how different factors affect motion.

Explosive Car

Students design a car powered by a baking soda and vinegar reaction to explore acids and bases, pressure, thrust, and Newton’s Third Law of Motion through hands-on experimentation.

Rubber Band Powered Car

Students build a rubber band-powered car to explore energy transformation, inertia, friction, and Newton’s Third Law, applying science and math to improve motion.
