This simulation allows students to visualize some characteristics of a working pulley such as applied force, work, pulled distance. Changing load, distance to lift and pulley diameter students can see how these variables influence the result.

Forces And Motion
13-14
Play with one or two pendulums and discover how the period of a simple pendulum depends on the length of the string, the mass of the pendulum bob, the strength of gravity, and the amplitude of the swing. Observe the energy in the system in real-time, and vary the amount of friction.
This lab allows student to experiment with different weights for the same spring to check Hooke's law.
The objective of the lab is to study the Third Law of Motion using two spring balances. Students can vary the force applied and prove the law.
Learning Outcomes
The student will understand:
This is a simulation of a simple pendulum. Changing various parameters such as mass, length, damping or gravity, students can explore the effects on the pendulum's motion.
In this lab you can explore the relation between acceleration, velocity and distance covered.
This lab is designed to have students find the relationships that affect the horizontal distance travelled by a projectile. Students will be able to modify the starting height, initial speed and angle at which the projectile is fired.
This lab was designed to have students investigate the factors that affect the acceleration of an object on a frictionless horizontal surface. The simulation will give the students a position vs. time graph and a velocity vs. time graph.
Stretch and compress springs to explore the relationships between force, spring constant, displacement, and potential energy! Investigate what happens when two springs are connected in series and parallel.
Play with objects on a teeter totter to learn about balance. Test what you've learned by trying the Balance Challenge game.
The primary aims of the lab are:
1) Predict how objects of various masses can be used to make a plank balance,
