Description
Students learn to distinguish between speed, velocity, and acceleration while exploring the unexpected motion of everyday objects. Watch a pencil accelerate to over 100 mph in a fraction of a second, grasp the concept of gravitational acceleration with the help of crashing metal plates, knock a moving target out of the air using a powerful air cannon, and suggest ways to alter the design of a medieval siege engine.
Capacity: 8 classes (200 students) per session; 1 to 2 sessions per day. Requirements: Gym, auditorium, cafeteria, or other large, assembly-appropriate space. Fee: $455 for 1 session; $300 for an additional session. Travel fees apply for sites more than 30 miles from the Museum. Reservation: Required.
