Design & models: See how Walt Disney Imagineers use design and models to put things together and to make them function! Includes the steps of the engineering design process, and explores how physical and computer-aided design models are useful. Trajectory: What scientific principle keeps coming up ... and up ... when designing Disney's theme park attractions? Trajectory! The Walt Disney Imagineers demonstrate how forces and motion play a leading...

"Newton's Three Laws of Motion are at work in virtually every Disney theme park ride and attraction. The Walt Disney Imagineers demonstrate how they use Newton's Three Laws to create some of the most exciting ride experiences possible. From the thrilling rockets of California Adventure's Golden Zephyr to the wild twists of California Screamin', students will learn to define acceleration, friction and motion. Best of all, they'll be able to see first-hand...

"Did you know that nothing can move or stop by itself? In Motion, Bill Nye shows how everything needs a push or pull, a force, to make it move or stop. Sometimes an object might seem to be at rest even when it is actually in motion. Confused? It's all relative, relative motion, that is."--Container.

"Have you ever wondered how astronauts float in space, or how your pizza gets from your plate to your mouth? Basic principles of physics, including learning about distance, displacement, speed, velocity, acceleration, forces, friction, gravity, and Newton's laws of motion, are explored through diagrams, photos, and information"--Container.

Students discover that kinetic energy is related to objects in motion while potential energy is stored, just waiting to be put to use.

Students learn how energy can be transferred from one object to another to make something move such as wind blowing on a sail. They also discover that mechanical energy can exist in two states: moving or stored.

This film discusses the pushing and pulling forces that effect our lives. Shows rushing water. Explains friction and gravity.

Newton's Three Laws of Motion: Newton's Three Laws of Motion are at work in virtually every Disney theme park ride and attraction. The Walt Disney Imagineers demonstrate how they use Newton's Three Laws to create some of the most exciting ride experiences possible. Friction: Do Walt Disney Imagineers encounter resistance in their work? Of course they do ... when it comes to friction! In this program, the Imagineers showcase how different types of...
