SECTION I: METHODS OF SCIENCE AND NEWTONIAN MECHANICS
Stable Mates
Using magnetic marbles to explores patterns and studying the stability of various configurations of marbles.
Java Script
Teaches about center of gravity and angle of inclination using coffee cups.
Spining Sandboxes
Play with sand while learning about angular acceleration and moment of intertia!
Sailboats, Ladders and Old Glory
Force, vectors, rotational equilibrium, including the second condition of equilibrium.
SECTION II: VIBRATIONS AND SOUND
Free Fleas in Breezy Trees
Making clay balls shake on rods to demonstrate resonance and resonant frequencies!
Making Waves
Scoth tape and soda straws make for a lesson in wave patterns, frequecy, wavelength, and different kinds of waves, including standing waves!
SECTION III: FLUIDS
The Biggest Fritos® Always Rise to the Top
Yup, Fritos®. Density, mixing, Bernoulli’s principle, etc. Experiments you can eat are always the best!
SECTION IV: HEAT AND TEMPERATURE
Seven Percent Solution
Specific Heat, Thermal Equilibrium, beakers, thermometers. You get the idea.
SECTION V: ELECTRICTY AND MAGNETISM
Tesla's Domain
Household magnets, batteries, wires and compasses are all that are needed to explore magnetic fields, electromagnets, field strength and patterns and lots more!
SECTION VI: LIGHT AND OPTICS
Optics - the Heiligenschein
Refraction in Jello! Index of refraction, fiber optics, neat stuff. Have you ever asked yourself what something called Snell's Law has to do with a word like Heiligenschein? And what does that have to do with spooky nights?
SECTION VII: MODERN PHYSICS
Rutherford Revisited
Re-creating Rutherford's breakthrough scattering experiment with wood and marbles. Shows indirect observation without all the messy radioactivity.
Quantum Numbers
Quantum mechanics, the strangest of all the sciences, is explained with rubber bands and pegboards. Quantum energy levels, quarks and the Simpsons. It's all in here.
