47 minActivity 1: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min
Explore the forces at work when pushing against a refrigerator, crate, or person. Create an applied force and see how it makes objects move. Measure the speed, and learn how to apply a force to speed up or slow down the object. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Activity 2: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min
Stage a game of tug of war between the red team and the blue team. Add pullers to the rope to increase the force, and discover the relationship between the left force, right force, and net force. Determine if a force is balanced or unbalanced. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Activity 3: Question Game. Estimated duration: 17 min
You need to get the octopus back in the water by dropping boxes on top of the platform. You'll have to use good aim and strategy to be successful with this task. Along the way, you will also answer multiple-choice questions about force. Once you successfully complete all six modules, you will win the game!

Activity 4: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min
Explore the forces at work when friction is present. Push against various objects, such as person or refrigerator, or stack multiple objects. Adjust the amount of friction, and create an applied force to overcome it. Find the mass of the mystery object. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.
