This is a great interactive site that allows you to build various

amusement park rides. Everything is based on the physics on

how well the rides will work. Start off by creating a roller coaster

ride and then see if it will work. If it does not work, it will give you

the explanation of the problem and you can then go and fix it.

Walk around the park and see other places where you can go and

explore. Have a look at the a bumper car ride. You need to look at the

bumper cars and decide what will happen in different scenarios.

This is perfect for Grade 2 - 7 science.

Using the kinetics lab, the learners can first build their own space,

then they can use different options like change the gravity, use various

balls with different weight, change friction, etc.

Excellent!

Very cool!!

This is a great animation about the history of physics.

It is only just under 4 minutes long.

Definitely worth a watch!!
