Program Description
Experience physics in action through hands-on activities and demonstrations using familiar and old-fashioned toys. Students experiment with the forces of gravity and inertia by observing and manipulating materials, forming and testing their own hypotheses. An understanding of conservation of energy along with kinetic and potential energy is achieved when students make their own toy to take home.
