Forces, Friction & Movement Learn how the 3 Laws of Motion apply in daily life Enquire Now Learn how objects really move In this workshop, we’ll look in depth at how push and pull forces act to move objects… especially toys! Also, explore what variables impact friction between two surfaces and how this impacts object movement. Rotational forces are explored in a variety of objects as well as we spend time ensuring that the kids understand how inertia works. Newton would be happy here! Online Class Version We’ve run live interactive distance programs since 2010 and are highly experienced in making online classes engaging for kids on a variety of web conferencing platforms. Activities may vary from those listed for the face-to-face version and will be tailored to age groups attending online.
