About the Program
Explore the science of movement in the railways and at the ipswich railway workshops. In this facilitated school program, students investigate push and pull forces and motion in rail-related contexts.
Further Infomation
There are four components to this program:
- An interactive presentation led by a museum staff member. Students identify and interpret forces in the railways using object and images from the collection.
- A special Maker Space challenge, where students design and build a device that picks something up and moves it… without using their hands!
- Hands-on exploration and investigation of forces in the railways and other contexts in our interactive Sciencentre.
- A self-guided ‘scavenger hunt’ that will encourage students to think critically while exploring objects to identify and describe push and pull forces and motion.
