It's summertime and we're taking a virtual trip to the amusement park. But on this trip we're combing fun and thrills with science, as we take a look at the physics behind your favorite theme park rides.
The color scheme here is a bit hard to read, but if you persevere, you'll be rewarded with six science experiments to perform on amusement park rides, and two experiments for your local playground.
Study the physics of falling, floating, and turning with animated lessons at my pick-of-the-day site from the Japan Virtual Science Center.
