Ziplining Physics Concepts

Reggie from the California Science Center introduces a physics activity involving ziplining. The video explains how to set up a zipline using various materials like floss, string, and shoelaces, and explores the concepts of friction and gravity. Reggie demonstrates how different materials affect the zipline's performance and encourages viewers to experiment at home. The video concludes with a call to share results on social media.
