Puff Rocket - 1 Pack

Hypothesize, experiment, collect data and analyze forces and motion with a straw “rocket” and an easily made launcher. The stronger the force, the farther and higher the rocket flies!

Car on a Roll - 1 Pack

Create a model car consisting of a simple chassis and a straw-based axle system (simple machine) that teach students about motion along inclined planes, friction,
gravity, momentum, and potential vs. kinetic energy.

Fizzy Rocket - 1 Pack

Use alka-seltzer to create a reaction that builds up pressure in a film canister. Have a blast with this gas-powered flyer.

Hovercraft - 1 Pack

A teaching resource to demonstrate the science of motion and forces like friction and air pressure, where students create a simple hovercraft that will gracefully glide along on a thin cushion of air.

Colors of Light - 1 Pack

A must to include in your science lesson plans. Students assemble an easily built spectroscope that allows them to separate incoming light into its component colors, forming a light spectrum (rainbow).

Egg Drop

Students build a "vehicle" designed to prevent a dropped egg from breaking. In the process, they discover that combining simple materials with a little creative thinking and teamwork will reveal many ways to solve this intriguing challenge!
