Teen Physics Playground: Experimenting with Energy (ages 13–18)

What are the different ways we can understand the complex world around us? By observing and measuring the flow and transformation of energy.
About this Event

In this interactive session, science educator Parker McLean will guide participants through demonstrations and experiments exploring movement, the potential for movement, and the many forms energy can take, including kinetic, electrical, gravitational, light, sound and heat energy.

Participants will then be invited to continue their discoveries in WonderLab, where they can explore more than 20 hands on physics experiments.
