Activity 2: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min
Masses and Springs: Basics - Bounce
Explore the motion and period of an oscillating mass on a spring. Design experiments and collect data with the ruler or stopwatch. Simultaneously experiment with two mass-spring systems to make qualitative comparisons. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.
