Centered on Newton’s Three Laws of Motion, this program demonstrates force, acceleration, and opposing reactions through Dancing Wheels’ highly technical wheelchairs used for everyday mobility and dance. Participants learn the science behind the design and construction of a manual wheelchair and will have the opportunity to try experiments that demonstrate Newton’s Laws of Motion with common everyday objects. Motion Commotion aims to inspire, entertain and educate. The program is available as an in-school workshop, as an afterschool/out-of-school class, and as a 5-week residency. A virtual option is available.
