90 min

Activity 1: 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.

Activity 2: 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.

Activity 3: 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.

Activity 6: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 8 min

Cowapult

You must launch a cow as far as possible by using a catapult, or in this case a Cowapult, and correctly answer questions about the SI system of measurement, position, motion, and acceleration. Each toss introduces a new topic. When you answer questions correctly, your cow will get a boost. Get prepared to use your Cowapult!
