About this Event

Big Science for Little Hands @ Home: Fantastic Forces

Join us for this fun workshop where we will investigate forces and how things move, stop, go faster, slower or sink! We will explore these science concepts through hands-on exploration and discovery.

This online session is activity-based. These are the materials you will need for this session:

  • Toy car or anything on wheels
  • A large book or any flat surface you can lift and move around
  • A couple of blocks (that can hold up the flat surface to create a ramp)

  • Variety of recycled materials (collect your containers and cardboard!)
  • Scissors
  • Tape
  • Construction paper
  • Straws (if possible)
  • Marker pens
