Balloon Rocket Blastoff

Have you ever watched a rocket or space shuttle soaring through the sky? How is it possible for these massive objects to move through the air? The basic principle behind rocket flight is Newton’s third law of motion. In this activity, students will experiment with Newton’s third law by launching balloon rockets across the classroom.

Twirling Toy Challenge

In the Spring, maple trees release multitudes of seeds into the air. They carelessly spin and drift in the wind until landing at their final destination, the ground. What causes the flight patterns the seeds follow? A twirling toy demonstrates the same careless flight and by manipulating different factors of the twirling toy, you can discover which factors are more influential.

An Easy Hero’s Engine

Phase changes are taught at just about every level of science education, K–college. Rarely, however, is it emphasized what an important role they have played historically in our technological development. The boiling of water, after all, was what first allowed us to take significant advantage of chemical energy, enabling us to convert the heat given off during an exothermic reaction into useful work. How wonderful then that one of the earliest and most fundamental steam engines can be replicated with an aluminum soda can!

Center of Gravity Toss

Observe the motion of an irregularly shaped object as it spins around its center of mass. The path of the spinning object reveals that the net force of gravity pulls down on the object at its center of mass. The center of mass of the irregularly shaped object follows a simple parabolic trajectory when the object is tossed into the air.
