three children performing the collisions experiment

Collisions

Predict a hidden shape by looking at trajectories of marbles that bounce off it.

For scientists aged 8-12.

In this activity, students will learn about how scientists use collisions to determine properties of objects that they cannot see with their eyes. Students will learn about how an object behaves when it hits a surface at different angles and use this to predict the shape of a hidden object using our 'shape colliders.'
