Franklin’s Young Inventors Science Club: Forces

Saturday 19 March, 10am-11.30am GMT. Register here to attend in person.

Join our science club at Benjamin Franklin House, the London home of the famous Founding Father of the United States who was also a scientist and inventor. You will learn about the experiments carried out by Benjamin Franklin and his British friends as well as trying your hand at practical investigations. This week we will be exploring the core physics topic of forces.

If you would like to recreate the simple forces investigation at home, you will need the following items: a toy car, cardboard (e.g. from recycled boxes), a ruler, a timer, tape

Most suitable for Years 7-9 (US Grades 6-8) but all ages welcome!
