Levers, gears and torque
The same force has different turning effects at different distances from a pivot. Both balances and gears depend on this relationship.

Physics
Mass, velocity, force and energy describe different aspects of motion. The experiments let you change the conditions and compare measurements, giving the quantities and laws something concrete to refer to.

Pendulums and predictability
A pendulum’s length affects a clock’s timing. Two linked pendulums can also amplify a small difference in their starting positions.

Coulomb’s law
The signs of two charges determine attraction or repulsion. Their amounts and separation determine the size of the force.

Airflow & vortex wakes
Smoke makes the wake behind an object visible, revealing how a smooth flow differs from one with swirling vortices.

The Standard Model
The particles inside atoms are more than a list of names. Matter particles, antiparticles and interaction carriers have different roles. Beta decay and the Higgs field give us concrete examples of the relationships in the particle table.

Strong force & gluons
Pulling quarks apart puts energy into their field. Continuing can produce new particles rather than an isolated quark.
