Angry Contraptions
This is a physics-based puzzle game where you must collect all the stars on the level. You do this by using Newton's first and second laws to propel three types of balls into the air, but each ball has a different mass. You will have to find a different way to throw each ball. At the end of each level, there is a quiz on the Newton's first and second laws.

Activity 4: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min
Projectile Motion - Vectors
Shoot a cannon and see how the velocity, acceleration, and force vectors change throughout the flight. Adjust the cannonball's diameter and mass, and control the cannon's height, angle, and initial speed. Design your own experiments and collect data. Turn on air resistance, and discover how the drag force relates to the motion of the projectile. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Activity 5: 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.

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!
