The National Science and Technology Medals Foundation's Lab on Gravity is an interactive site that allows you to manipulate space and observe the resulting gravitational forces. The activity aims to answer the question: How do celestial bodies warp the fabric of spacetime and interact with one another? The simulation allows you to adjust variables such as mass, distance, and velocity as you trigger orbits and collisions.
In the Classroom
Students can use Webnote, reviewed here to document their experiences using the simulation. Students can use Scratch, reviewed here to create their own galaxy that needs to be safe from objects colliding with it. Finally, students can use Dotstorming, reviewed here to share their reactions to the site.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
