Physics
This toolkit is designed for an introduction to some basic physics concepts. Key concepts include force and motion, surface tension and density, gravity and air resistance, kinetic and potential energy. All activities are hands-on and have youth building and constructing experiments to try out these concepts. Curriculum comes from National 4-H, and includes both Science Fun with PHYSICS (PDF) and the 2015 4-H National Youth Science Day experiment, Motion Commotion.
