Activity 1: 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.

Kinetic Aim

It's time to take a step at learning about kinetic energy, literally! Use your squirt soaker to aim at the flying objects that will cross your screen. Some of the objects that you hit will provide you with facts. You will see other objects that will give you questions to answer that will boost your score. As the levels advance, the objects will move more quickly! Good luck!
