Weekly themes:

Week 1 - Roller Coaster Challenge
Using math skills to control potential and kinetic energy forces, students work in teams to construct a coaster that will let a ball travel as far as possible.

Week 2 - The Cantilever Bridge - a tricky balancing act
Test how your model car moves across a bridge you build based on your engineering skills! It’s a construction activity based on balancing tension forces.

Week 3 – Moving Air – One of Mother Nature's Most Interesting Forces
By making observations about the ways in which an object behaves in a wind stream, students will design, construct, and immediately test their creation in the Museum’s fantastic wind tube.

Week 4 - What Floats Your Boat? - Buoyancy at work 
Students will create a boat that matches the force of gravity acting on it with the force of the water pressing against it, thus keeping your boat from sinking.
