Student experimenting with electricity
Electricity Bench

Explore electricity at the AC and DC stations.









Students observing Magnetic Motion
Magnetic Motion

Sometimes a relatively simple combination of forces can create a complex series of motions. Gravity pulls on the pendulum. At the same time, the base magnets push on the magnet attached to the end of the pendulum.
