APRIL 11, 2022 Forces and Motion,

Youth Room

Newton’s laws of motion created Industrial and Space revolution. In these workshops we will exemplify the concept of Forces and Motion for our budding scientists to make them understand how they help run the beautiful machines around us.

• Learn about different types of simple machines and how they influence change in direction or magnitude of force. Understand how simple machines can combine to make a complex machine.
• Describe how forces affect the motion of a projectile and what angle does it travel the farthest distance. Explain and compare meaning of accuracy and precision. Build your own catapult.
• Learn about types of Energy (potential and kinetic). Students will build their own car powered by a balloon, and they will learn how to calculate velocity.

APRIL 12, 2022 Inventomania,

Activity Room 3

Every cool invention starts with a creative idea. In this workshop, we go down the memory lane and recreate inventions in the field of sound, electricity and physics.

• Kids will learn about sound and how it travels in wave patterns. They will understand principle behind wired telephones and make a Cuica to take home
• Learn about electricity and make an electric circuit. Learn about Morse code, radio telegraphy and how it was used in ancient times. Send and decode messages sent via Morse code.
• Teach kids about friction and how to overcome it. Explain the principles of an Air hockey game and use it to make a balloon hovercraft.

Nutty Scientists is a COVIDsafe business and our workshops will run in compliance with the NSW Health COVID19 guidelines at the time of the event.
