What's Your Reaction? (Mid)

In this game, you'll meet Isaac Newton, and he needs your help getting to a party. He will introduce you to his third law of motion before the game starts. Hop from column to column while collecting coins. You will occasionally land on a special column where you need to answer questions related to Newton's laws and force. If you fall, try answering a question correctly to keep playing.

Activity 3: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

Projectile Motion - Lab

Blast everyday objects out of a cannon! Change the mass and diameter of the objects, and experiment with a toy car or record-setting pumpkin. Explore projectile motion on another planet by changing the acceleration due to gravity. Use the tracer tool to measure the time, range, and height along the projectile's path. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Blueprint Bash: Newton's 3rd Law (Mid)

You might need a pencil or a calculator handy for this game. This game will teach you about Newton's third law of motion. You will have to predict what will happen in fourteen different scenarios. Most of the scenarios will require you to manipulate the f=ma equation. After each problem, you'll see a blueprint animation of the answer! You will not forget Newton's Law after this!

Block Color The Game

Newton's Third Law says for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This game will allow you to play with this law in order to move blocks into target areas. Each level will get a little harder and you'll need to maneuver the obstacles that get in your way. Are you a Third Law expert? Prove it in this game!
