Newton's Nightmare
Get ready to amaze your students with scientific sorcery! First, drop the brass weight through a tube and watch it hit the ground with a thud. That’s gravity for you – you can count on it! But what happens if you remove the gravity? Not possible? The brass hangs as if it was as weightless as an astronaut in space, and your audience goes crazy. Go ahead, defy the laws of the universe. Recommended for children ages 6 and up.
