Description(click here to see curriculum links)
A 90 minute exploration of forces, pressure and some of the strange thoughts people have had about them through the ages. We will cover impact forces, forces applied over a distance, acceleration, movement and inertia, as well as getting a historical overview of the subject and some of the key figures in the development of our understanding of forces.
We will also explore free-fall with a ball on a string and a leaky cup, and finish off with surface pressure concepts with a bed of nails and a (hopefully willing) volunteer.
