During outdoor time, encourage the children to launch ping-pong balls with a class-made lever. Use a yard stick, a coffee can to support and prop up the yard stick and a clear container of ping-pong balls. Tape a bowl to one end of the yard stick. Place the yard stick over the coffee can with the bowl of ping-pong balls resting on the ground. Encourage the children to use their hands to push down on the other end of the yard stick and observe what happens. Change the position of the coffee can so the children can see the differences in speed and distance.
