Activity 1: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

Forces and Motion: Basics - Friction

Explore the forces at work when friction is present. Push against various objects, such as person or refrigerator, or stack multiple objects. Adjust the amount of friction, and create an applied force to overcome it. Find the mass of the mystery object. 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 - Motion

Explore the forces at work when pushing against a refrigerator, crate, or person. Create an applied force and see how it makes objects move. Measure the speed, and learn how to apply a force to speed up or slow down the object. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Activity 3: 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.

Activity 5: 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 7: Question Game. Estimated duration: 20 min

Galaxy Escape

10 Bright Monsters have been captured in space and they need your help to cross the galaxy jumping between platforms, finding them, and releasing them by correctly answering each question. Each monster that you release and unlock will be available to play with in the next level, in the search for the next monster. In your journey, you’ll be able to find power-ups, like ‘Double points’ and ‘Slow down’, which can be activated by finding gems, and their duration can be extended by correctly answering a question. Unlock and release the 10 different monsters and a spaceship along 10 different levels, while you make the most possible points.
