Science Goals: Develop conceptual understanding of science principles through student inquiry, experimentation and demonstration of technical design reinforcing in students the notion that “what” is known is inextricably tied to “how” it is known with opportunities for students to engage in “hands-on/minds-on” activities.
Program Description: Students learn in a simple, engaging, and fun way the principles of physics by using hula-hoops tricks to demonstrate the mechanics of Forces and Motion. Physics principles explored: gravity, friction, rotation, torque, axis, centripetal and centrifugal force, and Newton’s laws of motion. In-school field trip program meets NC Teaching Standards.
