SESSIONS & PRESENTERS

Force, Motion & Automobiles

Presented by LeMay – America’s Car Museum

Why has automobile design changed over time? What do Newton’s Laws of Motion have to do with seatbelts? How can patterns help make predictions?

Explore the answers to these questions and more with educators from LeMay – America’s Car Museum, as we drive into our Force and Motion unit! Developed to provide an engaging, hands-on experience, these three lessons will introduce your students to the basic concepts of force and motion, test your students’ design and engineering skills, and bring everything together with the ultimate test of your class’s new knowledge and skills as they construct a wacky machine that can be used to predict future motion.

AND

Under Pressure

Presented by Foss Waterway Seaport

Join instructors from the Foss Waterway Seaport for a series of hands-on science experiments involving balloons and other common household items. Teachers will use pressure to suck a balloon into a jar, put a wooden skewer through it without popping it, and maybe even mess around with some fire! In this session you’ll learn how heat and cold cause ocean currents and more. Wow your students and engage them in fun, exciting science.
