Description
- They might lose their notes. They might even lose their nerve. But in one day at an amusement park, students will also gain a real “gut-level” appreciation for Newton’s Laws. Using this kit, students don’t observe a dynamics cart. They are the dynamics cart. This is the only kit that is:
- Approved by the safety officers of major amusement parks across the USA.
- Student-tested in amusement parks by hundreds of schools.
- Teacher-tested in hundreds of Amusement Park Physics Workshops.
- Made with a metal coil spring for the Vertical Accelerometer (far more accurate than the commonly used rubber band).
- Supporting physics education (for each set sold, $2.50 is donated to the AAPT).
