The Notion of Motion - The Science of Movement

Experience the thrill of balls rolling, looping and racing down ramps, up hills and through tunnels while constructing concepts related to the physics of motion. As students build race cars, tracks, and mazes, they apply their understandings of motion by experimenting with the Roller Coaster, ICM Speedway, Loop the Loop, Hit the Bucket and Rollways. Together, you'll discover that balls and ramps have never been so much fun!

We've recently added a climbing wall to help kids understand the force of gravity firsthand!
