Forces and Motion - Reggy’s Mascot Challenge

Meet Reggy Funfurhuggin, an enormous, endlessly curious alien, who crash-lands on Earth and quickly discovers that forces and motion are everywhere. With his spaceship in pieces and his curiosity dialed up to 100, he starts experimenting: pushes, pulls, ramps, levers, wheels… anything that moves. His dream? To find a new home with creatures who look like him - mascots!

In the Forces & Motion unit, students team up with Reggy on an athletic-themed adventure packed with hands-on science and laugh-out-loud moments. Through interactive AR challenges and creative design projects, they explore how simple machines work while helping Reggy score goals, perfect trick shots, and master movement. Each lesson grows their engineering and problem-solving skills as they figure out what it takes to win the Mascot Challenge. Reggy’s story turns science standards into playful, high-energy learning that sparks curiosity, teamwork, and confidence.
