Collisions: & Trajectories

More about the book

ScienceWiz(R) Collisions' 36 full-color book combines high action with fundamental scientific principles. Children build, collide and catapult their way through an exciting set of STEM / STEAM experiments. PROJECTS INCLUDE: Exploring elastic collisions with a Newton's cradle Colliding collision carts elastically and inelastically Building and aiming catapults -- perfect your targeting -- think parabola Cruising marbles, large and small, down a ramp -- manipulating momentum with mass Bouncing stacked balls together to achieve incredible heights -- transferring momentum Launching stomp rockets -- angle matters -- if you want it to go the farthest This IS rocket science! Painting with pendulums Collisions prepares children for a greater comfort level when they first encounter physics. Collisions includes a 36 page instruction book, a Newton's cradle, tubing and elbow joints to build a stomp rocket, materials to build varied catapults, marbles, wooden ramp, protractor and rocket cutouts, parts to build two collision carts, a small box to weight the carts, and 1 ping-pong ball.
