My goal with this collection of projects is to make physics more accessible and inviting to parents, teachers, and kids alike! But before we dive into the physics projects let’s get a bird’s eye view of what physics is all about! What is the study of physics? ![]() It was a profound experience for me and suddenly all the book learning “clicked.” He wanted us to experiment with how forces really interact in a structure by testing them in hands-on experiments. Then I walked into a structural engineering class where we discussed the forces at work in designing buildings and my teacher told us he didn’t want us to open a book all quarter. Physics was presented to me as formulas about force, equilibrium, and momentum with not one single demonstration. In fact the only class I ever almost failed in my entire academic career was physics. Now before we begin I want to address a common notion a lot of folks have about this branch of science: Physics is really hard! I completely understand this thought. Physics is fun! After you look over some of the projects in this collection I hope you’ll agree. ![]() ![]() You see, physics is the branch of science that studies flying, launching, moving, and floating, as well as magnets, motors and electrical circuits, heat, light, and sound. ![]() There, I said it even if you don’t believe it! Physics projects are some of the most memorable science projects your kids will ever try.
