If your students like sports, rockets and roller coasters, then they’ll like Sir Isaac Newton! Newton’s Laws will help your students understand force, motion, and the transfer of energy. In this ...

Students will apply their knowledge of physical science concepts to create a lunar lander game using Scratch. They will use Vernier force and acceleration sensors to understand forces and integrate ...

“I am one with the Force, the Force is with me.” In an hour, we will take on some of the science behind the movies – experimenting with forces and motion, using angles of incidence and refraction to ...

Science Buddies is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization whose mission is to inspire and educate students of all ages with hands-on STEM experiments that reflect a range of interests. If you enjoyed this ...

When a musician strums a guitar, the vibration of the strings creates sound waves that human ears hear as music. When a guitar string is plucked, it moves a certain distance, depending on how hard the ...
