Format
Science Live! Shows are interactive “edu-tainment” programs showcasing a variety of science concepts.
Objectives
Grades PK-5
• Observe how the motion and position can be changed by pushing or pulling, showing that work is being done.
• Investigate the effects of force on various objects.
Grades 6-8
• Identify the similarities and differences between potential and kinetic energy
• Demonstrate how the motion and position of objects are affected by unbalanced forces.
• Investigate Newton’s laws of motion and their real-world applications.
Grades 9-12 and Adult
• Recognize and demonstrate that objects and substances in motion have kinetic energy, including the vibration of atoms.
• Investigate the transformations of potential and kinetic energy
• Investigate the conservation of energy
