2. Stronger Than Gravity
SCIENCE CONCEPT: Is there any force that can defy gravity? Actually, yes! Centrifugal force pushes objects that are moving in a circular path towards the outside of that path, keeping them moving in a circle.   TRY THIS: To demonstrate centrifugal force for students, place a tennis ball (or other light, harmless object) into a plastic bucket. Ask students what will happen when you turn the bucket upside down. The ball will fall out, of course. Why? Gravity! Now say you will show them a force that can actually defy gravity, called centrifugal force. Have students each take turns holding the bucket and swinging it around in a vertical circle so that the object stays in on each swing. Explain that this force is the same force they feel pushing them to one side when riding in a car or on a bike that takes a sharp curve.

4. To demonstrate centrifugal force for students, place a tennis ball
TRY THIS
To demonstrate centrifugal force
for students,
place a tennis ball
into a plastic bucket.
Ask students what will happen
when you
turn the bucket upside down.

5. Now say you will show them a force that can actually defy gravity,
The ball will fall out.
Why?
Gravity!
Now say you will show them
a force
that can actually defy gravity,
called centrifugal force.
Fearth on ball

6. so that the object stays in
Have students each
take turns
holding the bucket
and swinging it around
in a vertical circle
so that the object stays in
on each swing.

7. Explain that this force is the same force they feel
pushing them to one side
when riding in a car
or on a bike
that takes a sharp curve.

8. That’s all folks!
