Activity 1: 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 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.

Activity 3: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

Gravity Force Lab: Basics

See the gravitational force that two massive objects exert on each other. Discover the factors that affect gravitational attraction, and determine how adjusting these factors will change the gravitational force. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Activity 5: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

Forces and Motion: Basics - Acceleration

Take a deeper look at the forces in the system as you push against objects, such as a crate, refrigerator, or person. Create an applied force to overcome friction. Measure the speed and acceleration of the object as it moves. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.
