About Exploratorium Simple Science Tools

Join Curt Gabrielson as he brings us simple construction activities from his upcoming book. Curt and his team at the Watsonville Taller de Ciencias develop these simple explorations. We'll build motor driven vehicles with rubber band gears, and make a toy that converts gravitational potential energy into rotational motion of figures spinning around a pole. Then we’ll look into the physics behind the toys.

Have a look at Curt's new book.
