Technological world: Forces and motion

7 images of structures in Canada such as an Inukshuk, CN Tower and the Parliament Building including their locations

8 images including the Statue of Liberty and various towers from around the world such as the Eiffel Tower, CN Tower and Xi'an Bell Tower

10 images of some spherical objects such as golf balls and tennis balls that are made of different materials and used for specific purposes

Students develop and apply the skills of sorting & classifying, comparing & contrasting and predicting as they explore magnetism as a non-contact force that causes movement.

Are you willing to give up a sweet treat for the sake of science? Can you engineer a strong and stable structure out of something soft and fluffy?

Make a scale from simple materials and test it to measure weight.

Have you ever experienced static electricity? Like when you pull a wool sweater over your head in the winter? See what else static electricity can do in this hands-on activity.

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

Is it magic? No - it’s physics! Use circular motion to overcome the force of gravity and amaze your family!

Manufacturing and engineering airplane tires is important work! Learn how airplane tires keep the aircraft safe during takeoff and landing.

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.

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 design and build a model apartment building and learn how buildings such as these can be a solution for suburban sprawl.

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