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!

Activity 2: 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.
