Learning Resources STEM Force & Motion Activity Set
(Learning Resources $29.99)
A lively way to introduce kids to the science of motion with fun experiments that deal with concepts of gravity, inertia, friction, push/pull and other basics of physics. This hands-on way of learning is done with toy cars, tracks, a pendulum ball, ladder and 10 activity cards to guide the way. Like other kits in this line, this is for parent and child time together. Don’t try to do it all in a day. Pull it out on a rainy day at home and try one or two experiments and use some of the many ideas that encourage kids to predict outcomes, draw pictures and then see if their predictions come true. Doing activities like this give you a chance to play and make discoveries together and share a one-on-one time that is both instructive and entertaining. 5 & up
