Activity 6: 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.

Activity 7: 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 8: 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 9: 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 10: 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 12: 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 13: 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.

Gravity Falls

Do you ever wonder why things that go ‘up’, come back down? Or maybe why you stay in the chair that you’re probably sitting in right now? Or why that chair stays with its feet on the floor? These things and many others can be explained by one thing, and that is gravity.
