Activity Board

Teams will explore levers and balance through building a mobile.

Teams will construct an apparatus to transport as many AA batteries as possible across a span of 6 meters at one time.

Teams will make a paper helicopter and test its flight time.

Students will investigate how to slow an object’s speed as it travels down a ramp.

Students will bounce light off of mirrors to hit a target.

Students teams will all use the same materials to build a tower that is both tall and strong.

Students will build and test a hovercraft.

Students will better learn science vocabulary words, including their spelling.

Students will design and build a bridge that can hold a cup of marbles without breaking or collapsing.

Teams will design, build, and test a boat.
