Activity 1

Catapult Basketball & Kinematics

Students engineer their own catapults and launch projectiles into basketball hoops, exploring physics concepts like trajectory, force, and motion. Through trial and error, they learn how adjusting angles and force affects distance and accuracy, making kinematics tangible and fun.

Grades K-5 • 25 minutes
Activity 2

Chromatography Flowers & Capillary Action

Students create beautiful chromatography flowers while discovering how liquids travel through materials. Using coffee filters and markers, they observe color separation and learn about capillary action—the same process plants use to transport water from roots to leaves.

Grades K-5 • 30 minutes
Activity 3

3D Modeling & Euler's Polyhedron Formula

Students build three-dimensional shapes using modeling clay and wooden dowels, then discover Euler's famous mathematical formula that relates faces, vertices, and edges. This hands-on geometry activity makes abstract mathematical concepts concrete and encourages spatial reasoning skills.
