- Which came first, the chicken or egg-citing physics challenges? In this fast moving camp, students turn the study of motion and mass into hands-on projects and team building challenges! They’ll spin, toss, race and design while studying the ideas of motion, such as velocity, speed and the major role gravity plays. These egg-cellent activities are not only engaging, but they provide valuable reinforcement of the physics concepts students often struggle with.
- Each day, learners meet the challenges of Eggs-traordinary Physics Camp head-on with teamwork, application-based learning, active demonstrations and a whole lot of egg-streme fun!
