In this web-based practice, students will utilize gravity’s pull in order to accomplish a mission in space. Students must make adjustments to the thrust and angle in order to launch their space shuttles accurately.
Kinetic City Information for Educators
Kinetic CityKinetic City is a collection of Science experiments, games, and projects for everyone to enjoy both online and away from the computer.
S.MS.PS.2.3 Students who demonstrate understanding can ask questions about data to determine the factors that affect the strength of electric and magnetic forces.
S.MS.PS.2.5 Students who demonstrate understanding can conduct an investigation and evaluate the experimental design to provide evidence that fields exist between objects exerting forces on each other even though the objects are not in contact.
MST4.E.PS5.1 Students describe the effects of common forces (pushes and pulls) on objects, such as those caused by gravity, magnetism, and mechanical forces.
MST4.E.PS5.2 Students describe how forces can operate across distances.
