Let's Build Engineering Extravaganza

The Physics of Rhythmic Gymnastics

​

Challenge:  Observe how Rhythmic apparatus (hoops and ribbons) move through the air.  Learn how to use them!

​

Questions for Kids:

• Can you roll the hoop across your arms?  Across the floor?

• Can you make the hoop come back to you?

• Does speed change your hoop's path?

• Can you make spirals with ribbon?  Does the end of the ribbon behave differently than the part near the stick?

• What other shapes can you make?
