Measuring Earth’s Gravity, across ACT

In this Young Stars session, we will measure gravity across the Australian Capital Territory.

We will do this with help from young stars from across the region.

How will we do this? Pendulums, lots and lots of pendulums!

Suitable for ages 6-`12+.

Disclaimer: Parental supervision required to avoid hazards related to small parts.

DIY At Home Experiment

We will provide the experimental apparatus to the registered participants in the ACT ahead of the session, on Saturday, 15 Aug.

You will be able to do a simple DIY experiment from your home, and we will all do it together at the same time through Zoom.

Together, we will measure gravity across the ACT. Who knows what we might find!

All you will need are simple pendulums bobs, some string, and lots of excitement. We will share a simple instructional manual with participants ahead of the event.
