Explore our Workshops
Get Up and Dance
Explore how different gears push each other and change the dancers' spinning speed in a fun dance competition. Students will explore how pushing on an object can change the speed or direction of its motion and start or stop its movement. Understand that objects push on one another when they touch and that this can change their motion. Explore how gears of different sizes push each other, which makes them move faster or slower.
Push Car Derby
Explore push and pull forces and the effects of friction with a spring launcher and a car with removable brakes. Students will explore and explain how force and friction can change the speed of an object and affect how far it'll go in a push car race.

Race Car
The light changes from red to green, and off you go! Did your pit team choose the right wheels? Will your team win? Students will customize a race car to explore different variables, like mass and rolling resistance, to see whose car can go the farthest and record data and use it to make predictions and recognize patterns.
Bobsled
The crowd cheers as bobsleds zoom down the ice track! What sets the winner apart? Grab your crash helmet and get ready to ride a bobsled to find out! Students will explore how gravity affects the motion of bobsleds based on mass, observe a pattern and make predictions and understand the difference between mass and volume.

K - 2nd Grade Workshops
Get Up and Dance, Push Car Derby
These workshops will give your students an understanding of forces and motion as they plan and conduct investigations about the cause and effect of push and pull forces. Each workshop will introduce students to the process of asking and answering questions, data analysis, and how to present their ideas. They'll work toward determining whether design solutions work as they were intended to change the speed or direction of an object with a push or a pull.
3rd - 5th Grade Workshops
Race Car
These workshops will develop your students' understanding of forces and motion as they engage in and conduct investigations about the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces. They'll investigate the patterns in an object's motion, developing and sharpening their ability to predict future motion. Along the way, they'll develop their collaborative conversation skills as they effectively engage in a range of discussions.
