Physics: Explore Newton's Laws of Motion

"Penny Norman, PhD again strikes gold with an engaging science kit based on the properties of motion and gravity. Physics covers many key concepts, including Newton's Laws of Motion and many others. These concepts and accompanying projects are presented in a truly winsome manner, geared specifically to children aged 8+. Colorful illustrations set the deal, for a top-notch, combination of learning and fun." -- Lawrence Hall of Science, Berkeley, CA.

The 48 page book with 24 projects develops an understanding of concepts in physics: inertia, the laws of motion, centripetal force, mass, weight, gravity, speed, velocity and acceleration.

PROJECTS INCLUDE:

• Launching water and baking soda rockets
• Racing cars down a ramp and accelerating, accelerating!
• Levitating air pucks.
• Doing magic tricks with inertia.
• Discovering how an object in motion stays in motion.
• Zooming jet cars.
• Building a spring meter.
• Nibbling an apple down until it weighs one newton.
• Learning that for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction.

Includes a handle box for easy storage and transport. Materials include a classic balance scale, parts to build a spring meter, a jet car, tubes, as well as stoppers and inflation needle required to make a baking soda rocket and a water rocket.
