This Seela Science® kit helps children explore and better understand:
1) Balloon Boat - Newton’s Third Law of Motion; when an object pushes or pulls another object, the second object reacts with equal force in the opposite direction
2) Simple Machines - how simple machines (like levers, pulleys, and wheels) can be used to change the direction of a force; we use many kinds of simple machines every day
3) Speedy Sounds - that sound can travel at different speeds depending on what it is traveling through; the denser the substance the faster sound can travel
4) Jump Start - Newton’s First Law of Motion; an object stays in place unless a force (push or pull) is applied to make it move — if moving, it takes a force to stop it
5) Mass in Motion - Newton’s Second Law of Motion; an object may slow down, speed up, or change directions when a force is applied.
6) String Pipe - how air resistance affects motion; objects can move or stop because forces are pushing or pulling on them.
