Playing Tug-of-War, pedaling a bike, jumping rope - these actions all require force! We typically don't notice many of the forces around us, but they surround us all the time. Find out how force works, and then harness your knowledge to design and build like an engineer! Students will enjoy learning about inertia, tension and gravity, lift and air resistance, electric and magnetic forces, combined forces, and more.
