This ScienceWiz™ kit introduces the concepts of inertia, the laws of motion, mass, force and weight, velocity and acceleration, circular motion and centripetal force. Concepts are explored with time tested experiments and highly visual illustrations.

This sample kit includes enough equipment for a student to explore and develop a fundamental understanding of the key concepts of Newton's laws of motion while building a foundation for analytical thinking. Supplied in a plastic bag.

For ages 8 and up.

Each kit includes:
• Full colour 48 page booklet
• A hover puck
• A stop watch
• A balance scale
• A spring meter assembly kit
• A water rocket stopper with inflation needle
• A rocket tube and stopper for baking soda and vinegar rocket
• A car for ramp experiments and jet car experiment
• 3 balloons for motion projects
• Paper items (clowns, trucks)
• A duck


Student Experiments:
• Perform tricks with inertia and solve inertia puzzles conceptually
• Stay in motion with a low friction air puck
• Build spring meters and measure the forces of a push and a pull
• Munch an apple or shrink a piece of clay down to one Newton
• Learn about gravity, centre gravity and falling objects
• Use a balance scale to measure and estimate the mass of objects
• Clock each student’s speed
• Puzzle out the difference between speed and velocity
• Explore the concept of acceleration
• Measure the acceleration of a car down a ramp
• Experiment with Newton’s Second Law of Motion
• Launch bottle rockets, jet cars and balloons for Newton’s Third Law of Motion
• Investigate circular motion and centripetal force

Features:
The kit consists largely of non-consumables and uses components designed for years of classroom use.
Extensions to the main projects are feasible.

Includes free ScienceWiz.com portal access View >>>> :
Explore intriguing videos and links to information that will amuse, astonish, enrich and extend the content in the book and kit.
Internet animations and videos complement the classroom experiments.
Supplemental internet materials allow students to progress at their own pace and to their own level of interest and detail.
Contents of the website are periodically updated by the scientists and educators.
