Force and Motion
Age 10-12: Concept 2 - Force and Power: Unit 2

Learn about different types of forces and how they affect motion through hands-on experiments involving gravity, magnetism, buoyancy, and more. Explore Newton's laws of motion and demonstrate how simple machines make work easier.

This unit can be used independently, but it is designed to be used in conjunction with the language arts unit Albert Einstein.
