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 7: Question Game. Estimated duration: 13 min

What's Your Reaction? (Mid)

In this game, you'll meet Isaac Newton, and he needs your help getting to a party. He will introduce you to his third law of motion before the game starts. Hop from column to column while collecting coins. You will occasionally land on a special column where you need to answer questions related to Newton's laws and force. If you fall, try answering a question correctly to keep playing.
