This is a simple, but not easy STEM challenge for kids. All you need is a jar and a small, soft ball. Kids will use centrifugal force and Newton's First Law of motion to pick up the ball using only the jar! It's challenging, magical, and fun. Part of the fun of this activity is the failures. It will take many tries to get right, but you'll watch the ball fly around as you learn how to catch it in the jar.
