Activity 2: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min
Projectile Motion - Drag
Take a deeper look at the effects of air resistance when firing a projectile from a cannon. Determine which factors influence the drag force. Adjust the drag coefficient and see the projectile change shape. Control the mass and diameter of the projectile, and set the altitude. Watch the velocity and drag force in real time! Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

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.

Activity 4: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min
Projectile Motion - Intro
Blast a car out of a cannon, and challenge yourself to hit a target! Learn about projectile motion by firing various objects. Set cannon angle, height, and initial speed. Take measurements or display velocity and acceleration vectors. Turn on air resistance and observe what happens to the projectile's path. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.
