Activity 1: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

Masses and Springs: Basics - Bounce

Explore the motion and period of an oscillating mass on a spring. Design experiments and collect data with the ruler or stopwatch. Simultaneously experiment with two mass-spring systems to make qualitative comparisons. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Activity 2: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

Masses and Springs: Basics - Lab

Play with a mass-spring system and discover which factors affect its displacement and period. Control the mass, spring constant, and gravity. Watch the Period Trace, or measure the period using the stopwatch. Determine the value of the unknown masses or gravity on Planet X. Observe the velocity and acceleration vectors while the system is in motion. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Activity 3: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

Masses and Springs: Basics - Stretch

Hang a mass from a spring and see how it stretches. Play with one or two mass-spring systems and discover the relationship between the mass, spring constant, and displacement. Design an experiment to determine the value of the mystery masses. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Activity 5: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

Energy Skate Park - Playground

Design and build your own skateboarding tracks, ramps, and jumps to explore the conservation of energy. Control the skater's mass, measure the speed, and change the amount of friction on the track. See the kinetic, potential, and thermal energy in the system graphed in real-time!
