This is a handout for Girl Scout Women of Science and Technology Day, held 2006 February 18 in Bethel, Alaska (Susitna Council ) http://www.girlscouts.ak.org/. We had great fun testing ideas of friction and Newton’s third law, from Kindergarteners to intermediate school girls (and adults).
The last page of the handout is from Howtoons (see URL in the document http://cerebraloddjobs.edublogs.org/files/2006/02/GS%20AKHovercraft.doc”)
(see more about the Alaska Hovercraft,

This is a neat idea from Taiwan schoolchildren in their science class (not the $200 model but the free one) BoingBoing finds all sorts of neat stuff.
