FULL THROTTLE FORCES

Grade: Kindergarten, Second Grade, Fourth Grade
Georgia Standards: SKP2.a, b; S2P2.a, b, c; S4P3.a, b

Description:
Students will learn that a force is a push or a pull that makes things move. They will see how a push moves something away and a pull brings it closer. The program explains how forces can make things start, stop, or change direction. Students will also learn the difference between balanced forces that keep things still, and unbalanced forces that make things move.

Objectives:
Force has both strength and direction.
Unbalanced forces cause an object to change its motion.
Balanced forces do not cause change in motion.
A force is a push or pull that makes things move.
Forces can make things speed up, slow down, and change directions.

Itinerary:
20 Minutes – Theatre Presentation
Introduce the concepts of force and motion.
Explain the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces.
Demonstrate how strength and direction affect movement using visual examples.
Tug of war demonstration (push and pull).
Ramp Demonstration.

SPARK MANIA

Grade: Fifth Grade
Georgia Standards: S5P2.a, b, c

Description:
Students will learn that electricity is the flow of energy from one place to another. They will see how electricity moves through conductors, but not through insulators. The program explains how a closed circuit is needed to power electronics and explores the difference between series and parallel circuits using clear and simple examples.

Objectives:
Electricity is the flow of electrical energy from one place to another.

MOTION COMMOTION

Grade: Eighth
Georgia Standards: S8P3.b

Description:
Students will explore Newton’s Three Laws of Motion and how they explain the way things move. They will learn that objects stay still or keep moving unless a force changes them, that heavier things need more force to move, and that every action creates an equal and opposite reaction. Real-world examples, including how cars move and stop, help bring these laws to life.

Objectives:
There are three laws of motion
Newton’s First Law: An object won’t change its motion unless acted upon by force.
Newton’s Second Law: Heavier objects need a larger force to move them.
Newton’s Third Law: For every action there is an equal or opposite reaction.

Itinerary:
20 Minutes – Theatre Presentation
Introduce the three laws of motion.
Demonstrate the three laws of motion with props.

ENERGY IN MOTION

Grade: Eight Grade
Georgia Standards: S8P2.a, b

Description:
Students will learn about two main types of energy: kinetic energy and potential energy.

They will see how energy can switch between potential and kinetic, for example, when a car rolls down a hill or comes to a stop. Clear examples help students understand how energy moves and changes all around us.

Objectives:
Kinetic Energy is the energy of motion.
Potential Energy is stored in an object based on its position.
Energy can change between potential and kinetic based on an object’s motion.
