Description
Build a race car with rubber band energy Design a car powered by a Balloon Make a helium balloon hover in one spot, then move it through an obstacle course using air currents. Use a air power to send a straw rocket flying high. Whooosh! Wind-powered car? Yes. It's a little bit car and a little bit sailboat. You will need the wind to move it. Wind powered car? Build a sailboat car. How many paper clips can it move? "Monster Truck Pull" Invent a device to launch a big cloud of confetti. Build a solar hot water heater Design an object that neither sinks or floats in 3 different liquids… It Flinks!. Build tinfoil boats and test different designs to see how many pennies you can load without sinking it Build tinfoil boats and test 3 different liquids to see how many pennies you can load without sinking it Build paper helicopters and improve your design Build a cardboard crane and see how heavy a load it can lift. Design a glider that can go travel far distances Design a hovercraft that can travel fast and accurate! Build a machine that kicks balls across the floor. Design an air-powered rocket that can hit a distant target. Design a catapult that uses mini marshmallows to hit a numbered target Modify a paper cup so it can zip down a line and drop a marble on a target. Build a boat that can paddle itself across a container of water Build & Launch an airplane catapult Can you make a paper bridge that can support 100 pennies? Build a table out of newspaper that can hold a heavy weight. Design a car entirely made of pasta that can travel down a ramp Invent a way to send a Ping-Pong ball flying high enough to catch it. Build a rubber band-powered car that can scramble across the room Make a two-wheeled car powered by a rubber band. Turn an ordinary cup and string into a screeching, squawking sound machine. Design parachutes of 3 diff fabrics that floats safely to the ground Make a helium-filled balloon hover in one spot, then move it around the room without touching it. build a solar box cooker, and test it out to see if it works well enough to make S’mores! Build a catapult using a lever, and power it with a rubber band. Design a crazy roller coaster ride for a marble – but make sure it doesn't fly off the track! Design a crazy roller coaster ride for a marble that launches with a ski jump! Build an unsinkable boat out of straws and plastic wrap. Design a working windmill that harnesses the wind Design a way to get a Ping-Pong ball from the top to the bottom of a zip line string. |
