Children investigate the science behind playground swings, including momentum and kinetic energy. After conducting simple experiments with those forces, participants use craft materials to build a swing model of their own.
The program is designed for children in grades 2–6 and their caregivers. Registration is free but does not include admission to THE PLAYGROUND; installation tickets are sold separately.
