Exploring balanced and unbalanced forces has never been easier! Students love this lab! There’s something about these little simulated mannequins that’s hard not to love. There’s 4 parts of this PhET that allow students to explore:
- Balanced and Unbalanced forces
- Friction
- Speed
- Acceleration
- Newton’s Laws
Even better, it’s completely inquiry based! The PhET site has lots of teacher resources and other simulators. If you’d like something ready made, the worksheet I created to go with this sim is one of my best sellers.
