Description	Two-page (low paper use) lab with ten-point formal assessment at its conclusion. The lab should take no more than 50 minutes, including calculations and questions. This lab is easy for the students to perform and easy to grade. If absent, this lab can be done at home with little instructor input. This lab is performed early in a 2D kinematics and vectors unit at an urban high school in Las Vegas, Nevada.

What do you think about this activity? How did you use it or change it for your class? Professionally constructive comments welcome.

• chall@aapt.org: This activity offers turn-key ease plus the flexibility for use in cooperative groups or self-guided study. It offers explicit directions for using the simulation to investigate vector properties BEFORE asking students to perform calculations. Nicely done.
