Middle School Physics

PhysicsQuest Tesla - 2008

PhysicsQuest Classroom Activities

PhysicsQuest is a middle school competition that consists of four physical science experiments centered on a mystery. The experiments are designed to be done by small groups in a classroom or after school setting. Each of the experiments gives students a clue that they need to solve the mystery. 

Classes can submit their answers online and be entered into a random drawing for prizes. PhysicsQuest kits are provided free to registered classrooms. All PhysicsQuest materials may be downloaded and reproduced free of charge.
