Just as Archimedes claimed

he could move the world with a big enough lever, your Sandboxers, Explorers, Engineers, Philosophers, and Wizards (PK to Adult) will claim they can move the world with a big enough pile of sand!

Particular Concepts offers Hands-on Physics Activities so your students (and you) can join in the excitement of these "new" concepts that the Ancient Egyptians probably used!

Activity Videos

The Particular Concepts workbooks stem from one inductive inquiry: What can a pile of sand teach us?

Fifteen progressive activities (PK through College) introduce new physics applications of Rankine Particulates (US Patents #6,739,827, #7,341,399 and #7,507,056).

Students (and teachers) can move a cup, build a retaining wall full of holes, and crack the mystery of raising the Ancient Egyptian obelisks..

In the activities between, new and known physics concepts are explored with hands-on, inquiry-based observations.

Few workbooks teach something new. Fewer inductively springboard simple observations into a complex machine. The listing of inductive scientists that shattered the "indisputable" deductive conceptions of their times, proves again and again that institutions cling to the deductive method of thinking -- well after proven wrong with pesky facts and observations!
