My Project

When it comes to hands-on engaging Science, it's hard to beat PocketLab G-Force sensors. Designed to fit in a standard Hot Wheels track, these aerodynamic race cars bring scientific concepts of force and motion to life.

Serious science with built-in fun, PocketLab G-Force race cars are equipped with advanced sensor technology that allows them to measure the speed and distance traveled just like a real car.

With this lab set, we will explore Newton's Three Laws of Motion, record and analyze our own data, and use the engineering design process to create a course with the greatest G-Forces. Help us teach college-level Science in an innovative way that both excites and inspires elementary students.
