Scientist Chris Stetson of High Touch High Tech introduced students to the science behind these forces through a series of hands-on activities in the classrooms. The kindergartners were amazed when they were able to pull napkins out from plates and cups without moving them and set race cars in motion using the north and south ends of two magnets to repel one another.
“When things bump or rub, there is friction,” Stetson said. “A ball will move faster on the gym floor than on the grass because a gym floor is smoother.”
He also demonstrated gravity by dropping two different sized balls onto tables during the Forces of Mind program.
