Activity 1: 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.

Force Fields Trio (Elem)

Follow the Super Professor as he teaches about electric, magnetic and gravity forces. This game shows three short demonstrations of how gravitational, electric, and magnetic forces and force fields work. There is a mini-game that uses a character from that force to complete a task. You will work with the Super Professor's friends as you play games together to understand more about the LO.
