STEM Week: Physics

Hi friends! For our second week of Summer STEM, we are learning about Physics. We will have 3 different activities for all ages!

Our first activity is All the Way Around​! This activity involves a marble and paper plate. Centripetal force is directed towards the center, so it's also what helps you stay on the carrousel as it moves round and round!

The second activity is called Twirling Ball! This activity helps us learn about centrifugal force which is directed away from the center. So, it's the reason we have to hold on tight while we ride the carrousel!

Our third activity is called Mini-Parachutes, where we will test gravity by making parachutes for all sorts of different objects. 

All activities on Physics ​this week can be found in the Children's Gallery from Wednesday to Saturday. Hope to see you there!
