Hockey Simulation

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Hockey Simulation interactive also includes:
  • Simulations Instructor Tutorial
  • Join to access all included materials

Do you understand the science behind hitting a hockey puck to control the direction it moves? Pupils experiment by telling a hockey player how to hit the puck so it moves in a circular direction. Through manipulating the velocity and force, players progress through the levels.
