Activity 1: 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.
