Motion Mania

MOTION MANIA is all about energy, teaching children about Force and Motion!

They'll improve their observation, investigation and experimentation skills.
And find out whether slopes, loops, hills, curves, gravity or speed make a
difference to how things move.

MOTION MANIA is made up of two key components - Energy Tracks and Build Your Own Coaster:

Build Your Own Coaster

Create your own roller coaster in this interactive experience that lets participants choose from over 30 coaster parts! Design, test and re-test your creation.

Some questions that will be asked are:

What makes the best design?

Where does the ball get its energy?

How many different coasters can you build?

Energy Tracks

In this interactive experience participants test the variables that that affect motion. Lift a ball up and place it on a track. Let it go! What affects whether the ball makes it to the end of the track?

Some questions that will be asked are:

Is it the height of the hill?

Is it the slope of each hill?

Is it the angle of the ramp?

What role does gravity play?

Is it the shape of the loop?

These components will develop the following skills:

-Increase learning and moto skills through direct physical experiences, interactivity and repetition.

-Develop social skills, communication skills and rules of play

-Learn to ask questions, how to pursue answers and see other points of view

-Take risks, combine skills, and share successes
