In this Mystery, students discover that there are pushes and pulls involved in any kind of work, including the work done by machines.
The goal of this math/physics game is to achieve a perfect balance by putting all the given objects onto the lever.
Here’s a fun challenge that also teaches kids about magnetism.
This fun science experiment demonstrates the concept of friction and how it increases dramatically when force is applied.
For this simple experiment we recommend using a tornado tube but you can also make a version using a washer and duct tape.
For this experiment you need about 10 checkers.
Easy experiment to demonstrate buoyancy to kids.
In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina shows us that the rate at which things fall to Earth has to do with something called air resistance… oh, and we take a trip to the moon.
In this hands-on investigation, students will explore the concepts of buoyancy and mass to create a device to help an action figure stay neutrally buoyant, just like a scuba diver.
Students investigate basic science principles involved in different types of collisions, from a bat hitting a baseball to a car crash.
Students work in groups to explore the properties of Post-it® Notes and determine the amount of force required to pull them across a plane.
Students measure, record and graph the frictional force between a block of wood and 3M™ Sandpaper.
