Course Description:
(Grade 1 – 4)
Hands-on Physics is designed to provide an introduction for students in the elementary level grades. This program is intended to be the first step in developing the study of real scientific concepts and terminology in physics. Whether you are exploring laws of motion, sound waves, or light, physics is everywhere! Rolling, pushing, pulling, racing, zapping, squishing, and more! Physics is fun!
The program is excited to offer 6 experiments for young campers in June 2025. There are 3 experiments in each week. These simple physics experiments are perfectly fun physics for kids! This program will be covering essential knowledge, like that of units and notations, and several topics:
- Mechanics, which will include but may not be limited to kinematics, forces, energy, and momentum.
- Electromagnetism, covering charges, basic circuitry.
- Magnetism.
In each topic, there are 3 sections:
- The Observe It section helps students explore how to make good observations.
- The Think About It section provides questions for students to think about and use to make further observations.
- The Just for Fun section provides an additional activity.
Hands-on experiments are the way to go with our young scientists, explorers, and engineers. There are lots of fun!
