Build lasting understanding through guided discussion and fun, hands-on learning!

This program offers a research-based way to introduce core science topics and model scientific processes in the classroom -- while fully engaging students with the humor of the Science Court.

Product Features

Over the course of the trial, students will learn:

  • Why some objects have more gravity than others
  • Why an object's weight on Earth is more than its weight on the moon
  • Why even though an object's weight changes with gravity, its mass remains the same
  • How to set up experiments to:
  • use a scale to measure gravity's effect on weight
  • calculate and compare weight on each planet
  • measure the mass of an object using a balance
  • explore the relationship between mass, gravity, and weight
  • How to work as a team by:
  • becoming members of an interdependent group
  • listening and talking with others
  • sharing a common goal
