Discovering Forces - KS2
Hands on Workshop
Come and explore energy and motion in this ‘hands on’ science investigation. This session is aimed at helping children understand some of the forces at work in cars; such as pushes and pulls, gravity and friction. Using Lego Technic kits to make model cars, students will conduct a scientific investigation into potential energy, recording data for analysis and discussion.
