Newton's Noodle makes science fun for elementary schools in Illinois.
Based on the laws and discoveries of Sir Isaac Newton, each demonstration
starts out with a small example object that the kids can either make
themselves or buy inexpensively. These small devices are used to
explain Newton's laws of motion, gravity, thrust and equal and opposite
reactions.
Each small example is then followed by a much larger version where
members of the audience are brought up to show how applications of these
scientific principles apply to them. Kids get to ride on a hovercraft, feel
the power of a gyroscope, pull a tablecloth out from under a table full
of dishes and lots of other fun and visual activities designed to educate
and make a lasting impression of the power of scientific discovery.
