Forces, Friction & Movement Learn how the 3 Laws of Motion apply in daily life Enquire Now 📚 Library 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 how objects stay in motion. 🍎 Newtonian Physics: Science that makes Isaac happy! ✨ Reliability You Can Trust Coordinating holiday programs for Libraries, OOSH, BASC, and Councils requires hassle-free logistics and proven engagement. Led by a Churchill Fellow, our team has delivered large-scale programs around Australia & beyond since 2004 for over 4 million students. We ensure your physics session goes off without a hitch.
