We invite you to visit Drievliet amusement park.
Textbook experiments will come to life as the acceleration in drop towers, carousels, swings, and rollercoasters, is felt throughout your body. During the excursion, the experiences of the body will be complemented by observations, discussions in smaller groups and experiments with simple equipment taken along on some of the rides, as well as data collection using your smartphone. The experiments will be introduced during the bus ride by Ann-Marie Pendrill & Jurnan Schilder. A Thursday follow-up session will offer additional opportunities for discussions, suggestions and reflections.
