The Great Falling Test | Invitation to Play
Drop, Explore, Predict, Discover!
Little hands, big questions and endless opportunities to explore!
The Great Falling Test is a simple, hands-on investigation that encourages children to explore gravity, movement and cause and effect through playful experimentation.
Using everyday objects such as pinecones, feathers, wooden blocks, balls and leaves, children are invited to predict what might happen when objects are dropped, observe the results and compare their discoveries.
Perfect for curious little minds, this open-ended activity encourages early scientific thinking, problem solving, communication and language, and an understanding of the world.
