Pool Noodle Periscope

The pool noodle periscope project is a great way for children to discover what reflections are and about angles and measurements.

Straw Rockets

In this activity, kids can compare how different angles of the straw affect the distance the rocket travels or how adding wings or folding the rocket in different ways can affect its rage of flight.

Water Pump Sprinkler

In this project, kids will learn about centrifugal forces and what happens when a ‘sprinkler’ made of straws is spinning and forces the water inside a cup to spin. If you spin the straw fast enough, water will fly out like a sprinkler.
