Are you feeling weighed down by your current gravitation presentation? Assign a hands-on interactive instead! Physics scholars work through a series of progressively harder questions about mass, distance, and gravity using an online tool. The resource, part of a Circular and Satellite Motion series, contains easy access to a tutorial as well as plenty of positive reinforcement for good work.

Concepts

force of gravity, gravity, mass, distance, motion, newton's laws of motion

Instructional Ideas

• Study gravitation with a related interactive, then assign the resource as a post-lab assessment
• Have individuals create an explanation of the relationship between mass, distance, and gravitational force as they work
  

Classroom Considerations

• Make sure the class is familiar with the calculations for gravitation
  

Pros

• The interactive contains a calculator for students to use as they work through the problems
• Real-time scoring helps monitor pupil progress
  

Cons

• None
