Game Based Learning: Equal and Opposite Reactions: Newton's Third Law MS-PS2.A-1 - Free Games and Simulations

Activity 1: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

Projectile Motion - Intro

Blast a car out of a cannon, and challenge yourself to hit a target! Learn about projectile motion by firing various objects. Set cannon angle, height, and initial speed. Take measurements or display velocity and acceleration vectors. Turn on air resistance and observe what happens to the projectile's path. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Block Color The Game

Newton's Third Law says for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This game will allow you to play with this law in order to move blocks into target areas. Each level will get a little harder and you'll need to maneuver the obstacles that get in your way. Are you a Third Law expert? Prove it in this game!
