Collin Pelfrey: If you think if it is worth the money paid.
Leora Klingelhoets: The six-flags parks have "physics days"http://www.sixflags.com/magicMountain/assets/pdf/P...Now let's be honest--it's a total boondoggle, and it's 99% fun, 1% education. But you can milk that 1% to justify it by talking about gravity and potential energy and centrifugal forces and stuff like that.Here's some more articles about physics day:http://www.the-signal.com/news/archive/736/http://www.redorbit.com/news/display?id=134456&sou...http://physicsday.usu.edu/biblio.asp...Show more
Wally Gower: You can learn about gravity and g-force by looking at the rides and measuring drops, angles, and stuff. You can learn about velocity as well. Just make a deal with the person that if you can go on the field trip, you will do an assignment they could make up just to make sure your not just having fun, but also learning something. After that, make each person do one answer and just copy it on! the bus ride back haha.
Whitney Saborido: Amusement parks are awesome for demonstrations of mechanics and geometry. You can get live examples of Newtonian physics, circular motion, kinematics etc.
