Program Description

Event Details

Experience physics in action through hands-on activities and demonstrations using familiar and old-fashioned toys. Students will experiment with the forces of gravity and inertia by observing and manipulating materials as well as 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.
