Material Detail

Rubberband Rollback

Rubberband Rollback

In this activity about potential and kinetic energy, learners get to roll a can across the floor and then watch it roll back to them as if by magic. This activity is always great for looks of wonder! Note: in the Materials Information, it is listed as "per student," but the activity also makes for a great demonstration and discussion.
