DESCRIPTION

Physics is the study of matter and energy!

Explore the amazing world of physics with the Complete Introduction to Physics kit (Grades 3-5) from Home Science Tools. This kit will take you on a journey through the field of physics, studying what matter and energy are, and how they interact.

The kit includes 11 unique, hands-on experiments, science supplies and a 32-page full-color manual. The primary topics covered in this kit include:

Light
Sound
Displacement
Energy
Speed
Velocity
Distance

Your student will experience physics topics including:

Working with light
Building and testing a ball trampoline
Diving deep to understand density and displacement
Setting a rubber band helicopter to flight
Launch a bottle rocket

They will also answer questions such as:

Is light a particle or a wave?
How do you make sounds louder or quieter?
What are the types of energy?
How do modern technologies, like helicopters, rockets, and boats, work?

SCIENCE STANDARDS

NGSS science standards alignment

3-PS2-1 Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object.
3-PS2-2 Make observations and/or measurements of an objects motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion.
4-PS3-1 Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object.
4-PS3-2 Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents.
4-PS4-1 Develop a model of waves to describe patterns in terms of amplitude and wavelength and that waves can cause objects to move.
4-PS4-2 Develop a model to describe that light reflecting from objects and entering the eye allows objects to be seen.
