Library Lab: GSK Science in the Summer with Museums and the Franklin Institute: Be A Physicist!
Be a Physicist!
The Be a Physicist! program invites children to take on the role of scientists as they investigate
different forms of energy and use the principles of physics to solve real-world problems. The activities
encourage children to practice scientific techniques and explore the following big ideas:
• Energy comes in different forms, like heat, light, sound, and motion
• Energy can change from one form into another, move from place to place, or transfer from
one object to another
• Scientists use models to test ideas and understand complicated systems
Each Be a Physicist! activity highlights a real-world career through a story that invites children to play
the role of a person in that career, while exploring how energy moves, changes, and shapes the
world around them:
