Introduction
The Naturally Newton project is funded by the Gatsby Charitable Foundation. Using hands on exhibits and workshops students can get a real feel for Newton's laws of motion. By mid-March 2002 over 200 secondary students from all over the Bristol area will have attended a Naturally Newton workshop.

Visit the photogallery, get help with your physics homework and try to explain some magician's tricks.

Magician's tricks
Did you master these tricks while you were in the workshop? Try them again and discover how they work. Is it really magic or can science explain these amazing feats?
