This Outscool course combines 4 of our most popular physics courses in order to engage students in experiments that in 4 different areas of this area of science. The experiments and projects have been designed to illustrate the principles being discussed while providing a hands-on experience for the students to experience how physics plays a role in our every day lives.

Week 1 - All About Air: Students investigate the properties of air using balls, balloons, bags and even a hair dryer! Participants will learn that air takes up space, has weight and exerts pressure. Includes a discussion of Bernoulli’s Principle and flying objects!

Week 2 - Electricity & Magnetism: Electricity comes alive in demonstrations using a Van de Graaff generator and Tesla coil. Students discover the basics of electricity and magnetism through hands-on experiments. Concepts are reinforced as students complete an electrical circuit.

Week 3 - Force & Friction: Students will gain an enduring understanding of the concepts of force, motion, and friction through a series of hands-on activities. They will participate in hypothesis formulation, data collecting and problem solving while utilizing concepts of push/pull, momentum, conservation and transference of energy. Each child will create a project that illustrates these ideas.

Week 4 - Optical Conclusions - Inside the Mind's Eye: Students learn how our eyes perceive light. Experiments show how light can be reflected, refracted and filtered through lenses, prisms, and spectrometers. Students make will learn how to make a thaumatrope.
