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

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.

In this challenge activity find out if you can get an egg to float. Learn how the density of matter affects the buoyancy of objects.

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.

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

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!

This backgrounder explains the difference between planets, dwarf planets and small solar system bodies, such as asteroids and comets.

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.
