Lesson details
Mini Golf Physics
Texas · Grades 4, 6-7 · 45 minutes
Imagine going to a mini golf course, but where you can use golf balls of lead or aluminum or try a course made of velvet or glass.
Try different courses where you can explore principles of kinematics in physics, like exploring the effects of a force on different masses and the corresponding acceleration. Try other courses to observe the effects of contact and non-contact forces on the ball as you try to get it into the hole with as few strokes as possible.
