Online STEM Class: Physics of Toys - Middle School Session

Online STEM classes will be free for anyone who donates at any level or joins as a member until April 16. When you donate or join, your confirmation email will contain the links to reserve your free space at the classes of your choice.

Class Description: Experience physics in action through hands-on activities and demonstrations using toys. Students experiment with the forces of gravity and inertia by observing and manipulating materials, forming and testing their own hypotheses. An understanding of conservation of energy along with kinetic and potential energy is achieved through home experimentation.

NGSS Learning Standards: P-PS2-1, P-PS4-1; K-PS2-1, K-PS2-2; 1-PS4-1; 3-PS2-1, 3-PS2-2; 4-PS3-2, 4-PS3-4; 5-PS2-1
