The 3rd Law

Help Sam, an astronaut, explore a newly discovered planet. You'll move your spaceship by engaging thrusters. Rotate your spaceship correctly to grab astronauts lost in space. You'll need to answer questions about corresponding opposite forces to show your understanding of Newton's 3rd law. Get a high score by moving everything in the correct direction at the correct time!

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!

Cowapult

You must launch a cow as far as possible by using a catapult, or in this case a Cowapult, and correctly answer questions about the SI system of measurement, position, motion, and acceleration. Each toss introduces a new topic. When you answer questions correctly, your cow will get a boost. Get prepared to use your Cowapult!

Angry Contraptions

This is a physics-based puzzle game where you must collect all the stars on the level. You do this by using Newton's first and second laws to propel three types of balls into the air, but each ball has a different mass. You will have to find a different way to throw each ball. At the end of each level, there is a quiz on the Newton's first and second laws.

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 9: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

Projectile Motion - Vectors

Shoot a cannon and see how the velocity, acceleration, and force vectors change throughout the flight. Adjust the cannonball's diameter and mass, and control the cannon's height, angle, and initial speed. Design your own experiments and collect data. Turn on air resistance, and discover how the drag force relates to the motion of the projectile. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Activity 10: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

Forces and Motion: Basics - Net Force

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.
