Our Forces Show is currently unavailable whilst we update equipment and content. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Using hot air balloons, rockets, mechanical birds and ping pong balls that travel at 200mph the forces show investigates those forces that help keep us on the ground and in the air, whilst discovering Newton's three laws of motion.

The forces show covers the forces of gravity, lift, thrust and air resistance/friction, as well as looking at air pressure and density.

This show is suitable for:

Key Stage 1 (Scottish: P1-P2)

Key Stage 2 (Scottish: P3-P6)

Key Stage 3 (Scottish: P7-S1)
