Air is invisible, and it can push things around. Air, like everything else in the universe that you can touch, is made up of molecules, tiny pieces of stuff.

Suzy visits the Queenstown Airport to find out what makes things fly. Maybe she'll find a way to help herself fly!

Bill Nye’s going to use the force to pull you into the world of balance.

On your bike, kid! Lets go and investigate how a bike works, together. Do you know?

Bicycles is the topic for this book because bikes are familiar to children from most cultures and also because they allow easy investigation into the concepts of levers, friction, and motion.

Next time someone has a birthday, try this experiment. Most people can blow out a cake-full of candles with a single blast of breath. Blowing out a single birthday candle should be even easier, shouldn’t it?

Learn about energy transfer with the help of a basketball and tennis ball.

Bridges are so useful. People have been making them for thousands of years. It would be really good to have a bridge so I can keep my clean floor nice and clean :D But how do you make a really strong bridge?

Learn about centripetal force while somehow staying dry as you spin a bucket of water above your head.

Ahoy there, matey. Come aboard Captain Nye’s Buoyant Barge of Science. There’s no swabbing the decks or battening down the hatches just the science of floating.

Heat things up with this experiment. You can do it right where you’re sitting, right now. Try it!

Zephyr was winning the cycle race, but everyone passed her at the end. Why? Scientist Lindsey Underwood uses evidence to explain to Zephyr how aerodynamics can improve the performance of racing cyclists.

Mr Tuala’s class have lost the Boat Float competition and they want to figure out why. By learning more about density (and how it relates to floating a boat), they critique their original boat designs and use what they have learned to design and build new, more successful boats.

This article describes the process undertaken by three students from Feilding’s Manchester Street School as they designed and built a robot that won the New Zealand VEX IQ Challenge. The article offers an authentic way of introducing students to programming and computational thinking, as well as physics and engineering concepts related to energy, weight, and balance.

In January 2018, New Zealand became one of only eleven countries that have successfully built and launched a rocket capable of sending satellites into space. This interview with Rocket Lab Avionics Manager Naomi Altman explains the science and technology behind that incredible achievement.

Do egg shells really contain thousands of tiny holes? Find out with this fun science experiment for kids.

Transfer water from one place to another using an interesting process called capillary action. Teach kids about this topic as they enjoy trying the fun water experiment.

The complexity of this investigation encourages students to begin to think critically about the design and results of the investigation.

Which falls faster? A baseball or a golf ball? You might think that a golf ball is heavier, so it should fall faster than a baseball.
