Big Idea: Newton’s three laws of motion describe the relationship between force and motion.

In this hands on activity build a wheelbarrow from simple materials to explore just how useful simple machines can be!

Try your hand at building a “super coaster” using materials around your home.

Explore the forces of gravity and buoyancy while designing a raft to hold the most weight possible.

You don’t have to pedal harder to go faster. You just have to understand a little bit about gravity, drag and friction!

Students will work collaboratively to design and build a toy that is moved using forces applied by magnets.

This backgrounder helps explain the laws of Orbital Mechanics, including Newton’s Laws.
