Properties Of Motion | Individual Enrollment
This program gives students an inside look at Disney California Adventure® Park. Learn how things like kinetic energy and speed are used to create mind-blowing attractions. Students get an understanding of the real-world application of physics in a Theme Park setting.
Through this program, students gain an understanding of the real-world application of physics in a Theme Park setting. Students identify and define potential energy, kinetic energy, speed, velocity and acceleration. They also have the opportunity to make observations and hypotheses, experiment and come to a conclusion by exploring select Disney's California Adventure® Park attractions. Students identify and define potential energy, kinetic energy, speed, velocity and acceleration. They also have the opportunity to make observations and hypotheses, experiment and come to a conclusion.
