Let's Get Moving!
Movement is part of our daily lives--driving in the car, playing sports, swimming. We have lots of words to describe how we move like roll, jump, run, collide, and fall, but how do things actually move? In this session, students will explore basic physics concepts of force and motion. Using different materials (Legos, cars, marbles, and K'Nex), we will design experiments and demonstrations to engage with Sir Isaac Newton's fundamental laws of motion.
Facilitator: Chris Doyle, GUS Faculty member
