Program Description
We will use nails, soda bottles, ink pen, wooden hoop, hammer, rope, the human body, and other common objects to demonstrate the principals of acceleration/mass/gravity. Students can participate in selected demonstrations with the presenter.

Objectives
To demonstrate the effects of gravity, mass, and volume.How to find the center of mass and how symmetry and irregular shapes affect mass.How to find the center of mass and how symmetry and irregular shapes affect mass.To illustrate the center of mass of the human body as related to sports and other activities and to demonstrate kinetic and potential energy.To illustrate how a base of support and the center of mass affect stability and equilibrium.To demonstrate counter-intuitive results when the center of mass is either inside or outside the pivot point of an object; also torque is demonstrated.Demonstrates Newton's Laws of Motion (Inertia).
