Description

This simulation gives students the chance to "play hockey" with positive and negative charges. By positioning and manipulating positive and negative charges, students will move the charged puck towards the goal. This interactive game can be used both to motivate students to finish an assignment and to review the forces of attraction and repulsion. Physical Science and Physics students will enjoy using their classroom knowledge to play this game.
