Physics: Motion, Density, and More
Grades 4-8
Class Fee: $225
Class Length: Twelve 1-hour classes
Location/Days: Foothill Learning Academy - Tuesday (El Dorado Hills), Thursday (Placerville)
Students will explore force, work, potential and kinetic energy, Newton's Laws of Motion, density of solids and liquids, and buoyancy. Some of the hands-on activities include using density cubes and a triple beam balance to calculate density of a solid, assembling a foam roller coaster with classmates to observe potential and kinetic energy, making a "flinker" to test buoyancy, and using Hot Wheels cars to observe the laws of motion
