Forces & Motion Science Fair Kit (Y7–10)

Suitable for Years 7–10 science fair projects in NZ schools

A hands-on science fair project kit that explores how forces affect motion and how objects move under different conditions.

What students do:
Investigate how objects move by measuring forces, testing friction, and observing how changes in surface or mass affect motion.

What this investigates:
How forces such as push, pull, and friction influence movement, and how different conditions affect speed and distance travelled.

Variables to explore:

• Test how different surfaces affect friction
• Compare how mass influences movement
• Measure how force changes speed or distance

What’s Included in This Kit

1 x Spring Balance (0–5 N, suitable for classroom force measurements)
1 x Measuring Tape 3m
1 x Stopwatch (included for accurate timing and repeated measurements)
1 x Safety Glasses

What you can use from home:

• Small objects (e.g. toy cars, blocks)
• Different surfaces (e.g. carpet, wood, tiles)

All equipment included is suitable for standard school science fair projects and classroom use.
