Launch, Throw, Jump: Kinetic Energy

For tweens ages 8 to 12 years old.

About the Program

Join us as we celebrate all things motion, movement, and momentum in this kinetic lab for STEM explorers. Participants will be launching paper planes in a paper airplane throwing air show, and sending toy cars down a ramp to see how high and far they jump! Program attendees will learn about kinetic energy and potential energy through these exciting physics experiments.  

For tweens ages 8 to 12 years old. Please register each child attending separately. 

Please note, a caregiver must remain in the library while children under 10 years of age attend a program. 

We kindly remind you that registrations will be removed if the registered person does not meet the program’s specified age requirements.
