Activity 1: Question Game. Estimated duration: 6 min

Matching Unit

You will match cards containing words and pictures related to measurement units. For example, you may have to match a picture of a car with km/hour, the type of unit you would use to measure and describe the speed of a car. As you make matches, pop ups will appear with more information about motion, frames of references, and units of measurement.

Activity 2: Question Game. Estimated duration: 7 min

Car Challenge - Reference Frames and Scale Units

Is there any better way to learn about the physical concept of frames of reference and scale units than to drive around a fancy red car? We think not. In this interactive simulation, you will experience how cars can change speed, direction, and acceleration. See how speed is measured against a stationary frame of reference. The game ends with a quiz to test your understanding of the concepts explored.

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!
