How do catapults work? How do planes fly? Can you lift a car with a magnet? After completing the 10 experiments and activities in our Physics Bundle, your budding scientist will be able to answer these questions and others. They will build 3 different types of catapults to explore the concepts of potential energy, kinetic energy and the transfer of energy. They will also construct their own electromagnet, build their own Art Bot using an electric motor, and explore the concepts of lift, drag and thrust while learning how planes fly.
