Teaching Physics with Toys Book Sale Limited Quantities

 

We are discontinuing this book and replacing it with a newer version that comes with a CD. We have limited quanities and this is a great price on an wonderful book for science teachers. Written for elementary and middle school teachers, this valuable resource is loaded with intriguing, hands-on activities that give students opportunities to explore and learn about inertia, kinetic energy, the laws of motion and other basic physics principles.

Grouped separately for grades K-3, 4-6 and 7-9, activities include:

• Six-Cent Top - By exploring the forces that keep a top spinning, children in grades K-6 learn about rotational inertia and the variables affecting it.
• Push-in-Go(R) - Youngsters in grades 4-6 apply the concepts of kinetic energy, potential energy, and energy conversion to a spring-powered vehicle on wheels.
• Stick Around - By observing the behavior of various shapes of boomerangs in flight, students in grades 7-9 learn about the concepts of lift force and relative speed.
