Minds On - Newton's Laws
The Newton's Laws Minds-On module consists of various missions (assignments) that address such topics as the connection between the forces that act upon an object and the manner in which it moves. The missions and the corresponding objectives are listed below. Tap a mission's name to begin.
Activities

Mission NL11 pertains to the concept of air resistance and the factors that affect the amount of air resistance experienced by an object. The mission consists of 35 questions organized into 9 Question Groups. You must answer one question from each Question Group to complete the mission. The learning outcomes for this mission are ...
Mission NL12 pertains to Newton's third law and associated concepts. The mission consists of 40 questions organized into 10 Question Groups. You must answer one question from each Question Group to complete the mission. The learning outcomes for this mission are ...
Mission NL2 focuses on how an object can move when the individual forces that act upon the object are balanced. The mission consists of 38 questions organized into 10 Question Groups. You must answer one question from each Question Group to complete the mission. The learning outcomes for this mission are ...
Mission NL3 focuses on the manner in which an object would move when the individual forces that act upon are unbalanced.
