You’ll be the master builder! Build towers and knock them down, make boats and then sink them, and create structures just to shake them apart. Send things flying through the air when you build a catapult, a hovercraft, a roller coaster, and a rocket launcher. Turn everyday things into projectiles that fly high up into the air! See the experiments list below.
- Earthquakes -- Try to build a LEGO building that will be totally destroyed by the earthquakes created on our earthquake table.
- Sunken Ships -- Make all shapes of boats out of aluminum foil and see how much weight it takes to sink them.
- Shake Buildings -- Try to build a LEGO building that will be totally destroyed by the earthquakes created on our earthquake table.
- Gyroscopes -- Make a gyroscope and see if you can toss it onto a table without it tipping over.
- Box Towers -- Build towers of cardboard boxes as tall as you can and then knock them down.
- Stomp Rockets -- Convert a clear tube into a rocket and launch it with our stompers.
- Catapults -- Build a catapult and use it to launch stuff all over the lab.
- Hovercraft -- Make your own hovercraft and race them across the floor. Then you can glide across our lab on a much larger hovercraft.
- Straw Rockets -- Shoot a straw clear out of sight with a tube and an ordinary balloon.
- Roller Coasters -- Create loop-de-loops, corkscrews, and flying marbles with ordinary foam tubing.
- Cork Shooters -- Discover how to launch a cork across the classroom with a piece of tubing, a stick, and a rubber washer.
- Water Rockets -- Launch 2-liter bottles with air pressure and then with air pressure plus water.
