Turn abstract ideas into impactful, action-packed learning! Through 20 hands-on experiments exploring forces, motion, and energy, you’ll visualize how these fundamental concepts of physics work and connect to one another. With a durable, modular construction system, you can build a variety of models, like a spring launcher that allows for a consistent application of force, collision cars that illustrate potential and kinetic energy, a dropping device that’s perfect for the classic “egg drop” experiment, a force plate to measure impact, and more. There’s even a specially designed spring scale that can measure the direction and magnitude of forces. The models can be assembled and disassembled again and again, or you can use the parts to create your own configurations, limited only by your imagination! The 32-page, full-color manual guides model assembly and provides clear explanations and real-life examples of key physics concepts like acceleration, velocity, mass, gravity, friction, inertia, Newton’s laws, and more. So start building, investigating, and experimenting to discover how physics is all around us! Show more
