Supercharged Science Outreach Program
Science Educator Resources
Physics of Motion
This month's topics are energy and motion. Kids will build a long roller coaster track, complete with jumps, loops, and corkscrews. They will get the chance to learn about the physics of motion and how energy is transferred.
Whether something is zooming, racing, spinning, rotating, speeding, flying, or diving - if it's moving, it has kinetic energy. How much energy it has depends on two important things: how fast it's going and how much it weighs. A bowling ball cruising at 100 mph has a lot more kinetic energy than a cotton ball moving at the same speed.

"I just started your Chemistry unit and have been shocked at how enthusiastic my 12 yr. old son is. I confiscated his slime so he can work on other subjects! I know now to do activities before reading the text to engage him."
~S. Gaines, Atlanta, Georgia |
"I love it that I don't have to do a thing! I set my kids in front of the program, and later find them excited and working on something new they created themselves. This program is exactly what we needed! "
~Ursula, Santa Barbara, California |
"I gave my reluctant 10-year old son your program. Three hours later, he made us late for an appointment because he couldn't tear himself away! He watched the videos over and over and built things I've never seen before. Thank you so much!!!"
~Barbara & Matt, Valencia, California |
"Thanks so much for the fruit battery science fair project. She won second place today in 8th grade division! It is an especially meaningful "victory" for us because Lynne has a learning disability."
~Caroline Fetter, North Carolina |
"Forget the kids! I'm excited by science now--teaching and learning. I was almost in tears when we saw the videos and started the experiments because I realized that she has something to follow if I get called away. Thank you again for filling a need in my daughter's life."
~Heather S., Toronto, Canada
