River Park Branch

River Park Meeting Room

Discover Newton's Laws of Motion. Engineer a rollercoaster, blast off a small paper rocket, simulate a crash test, and use Air Toobz. Ages 8 - 12 recommended.

Newton’s Laws of Motion:

  • An object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion at constant speed and in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force.
  • The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied.
  • Whenever one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite on the first.

AGE GROUP: | Children (6-11) |

EVENT TYPE: | Science & Technology |
