Forces, Friction & Movement Learn how the 3 Laws of Motion apply in daily life Enquire Now 📚 Library & OOSH Suitable Move It: Push & Pull Forces Exploring the physics of motion through toys and play! How do objects really move? In this workshop, we look in depth at how push and pull forces act on objects… especially toys! What we explore: ⚙️ Friction: What variables impact movement? 🌀 Rotational Forces: Exploring spinning objects. 🚀 Inertia: Understanding objects in motion. 🍎 Newtonian Physics: Science that makes Isaac happy! ✨ Reliability You Can Trust Coordinating holiday programmes for Libraries and OOSH requires hassle-free logistics and proven engagement. Led by a Churchill Fellow, our team has delivered large-scale physics programmes since 2004.
