- Title
Juggling makes physics fun.
- Authors
Beck, Charles
- Abstract
The article presents several hands-on activities and demonstrations for introducing physical science concepts associated with juggling to elementary school students. It states that the demonstrations help students understand the juggling skill required to keep a set of rotating objects under control. It is designed to make the concepts and principles of juggling more tangible and significant. It also demonstrates that juggling relates to basic concepts in physical science and is not simply circus entertainment. Jugglers fulfill the process by consistently observing the angle of an ascending toss and positioning the catching hand without following the object during its gravitational descent.
