Comments
What do you think about this activity? How did you use it or change it for your class? Professionally constructive comments welcome.
- This has some good questions that ask students to make sense of gravitation forces. Watch for the new Gravity and Orbits simulation that will be coming out soon. It will enable students to see the gravity vectors and may be useful in conjunction with this activity. 11/02/02
