In this fun camp, we will investigate mechanics, the branch of physics concerned with the motion of objects and the forces acting on these objects. We will discuss how and why things move the way they do through hands-on exploration. We will learn how engineers use physics concepts through the engineering process to create and innovate. The 4-day schedule: Day 1: Catapults Materials Catapult - 9-11 craft sticks, 4-8 rubber bands, and a spoon. Launching Material - marshmallows, pompoms, or...
