This video shows a demonstration of how you can build a simple "ski lift" device using nothing but office supplies. This Science Buddies project is based on an employee challenge from Fluor Corporation. To view full directions for this science project, or enter your own submission in the Fluor Challenge, see the "Hit the Slopes: Build Your Own Ski Lift" Project Idea at Science Buddies. …
Can you make a propeller spin with just the heat of the sun? Yes you can – with a solar updraft tower! This activity will show you how to build one and how to make the propeller spin.

How do plants grow in space? Can astronauts grow food in a zero-gravity environment? You can do your own experiments right here on Earth to find out! In this science project you will build your own device called a clinostat that rotates seeds so the direction of gravity is constantly changing. You can do experiments to see how this simulated microgravity environment affects seed germination. For written instructions, including a parts list, circuit diagram, and example code, see the Science…
