CFI-102 — Full Throttle
Kids enjoy the thrill of working with fast moving vehicles and objects-cars, trucks, trebuchets, rollercoasters, hovercrafts, rockets and planes. As they have fun with these objects, they are introduced to simple machines through the use of pulleys, gears, levers, inclined planes, wedges, wheels and axles. They then proceed to using knowledge of these machines to build and test various types of vehicles. The activities in this module put physical science principles of motion, velocity, acceleration, and speed to the test in fun, age-appropriate hands-on projects.
