80 min

Activity 1: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

Forces and Motion: Basics - Acceleration

Take a deeper look at the forces in the system as you push against objects, such as a crate, refrigerator, or person. Create an applied force to overcome friction. Measure the speed and acceleration of the object as it moves. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Activity 2: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

Projectile Motion - Lab

Blast everyday objects out of a cannon! Change the mass and diameter of the objects, and experiment with a toy car or record-setting pumpkin. Explore projectile motion on another planet by changing the acceleration due to gravity. Use the tracer tool to measure the time, range, and height along the projectile's path. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Activity 3: 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 4: 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.

Blueprint Bash: Newton's 3rd Law (Mid)

You might need a pencil or a calculator handy for this game. This game will teach you about Newton's third law of motion. You will have to predict what will happen in fourteen different scenarios. Most of the scenarios will require you to manipulate the f=ma equation. After each problem, you'll see a blueprint animation of the answer! You will not forget Newton's Law after this!
