WebA teacher-submitted, NGSS-mindful lesson plan for using the PhET model "Forces and Motion - Basics". The model uses a tug-of-war with participants of different sizes and strengths, placed different distances from the center, in order to show how forces can combine in different ways to affect the motion of an object.

Physics Simulation: Balanced and Unbalanced Forces

WebFounded in 2002 by Nobel Laureate Carl Wieman, the PhET Interactive Simulations project at the University of Colorado Boulder creates free interactive math and science … Webb) Play around with the simulation so that you know how to use it. c) Make sure that all of the boxes in the upper right hand corner are checked (Forces, Sum of Forces, Values, Masses, Speed) d) Play around with the simulation so you know how it works. 1) How does the presence of FRICTION affect the movement of the objects in the simulation? rough opening for 2/8 door
