Liquid pressure – tank and pressure gauge Integrated Science · Forces & Motion Drag a pressure gauge to different depths in a tank and read p = p₀ + ρgh. In the square pool, change the liquid and... Ages 13–14
Pressure on solids – snowshoes, skis, stiletto heels, drawing pins and bricks Integrated Science · Forces & Motion Stand a person in boots, on snowshoes, on skis or in stiletto heels, an elephant, or push a drawing pin onto snow,... Ages 13–14
Balancing a seesaw – moments on a plank with a central pivot Integrated Science · Forces & Motion Place bricks, people and mystery objects on either side of a 4 m seesaw with the pivot in the middle and positions... Ages 13–14
Two moving cars – distance–time graph (s–t) Integrated Science · Forces & Motion Car A and car B move along a straight road at different speeds, with car B given a head start. Press Run and the s–t... Ages 12–13
Levers and moment of force – equilibrium about a pivot Integrated Science · Forces & Motion The lever's pivot can sit at the centre (a seesaw or balance) or at one end (a wheelbarrow). Drag the two forces... Ages 13–14
Archimedes' Principle – Floating, Sinking and Liquid Pressure Integrated Science · Forces & Motion Drag a block and drop it into a tank of liquid: it sinks, floats in equilibrium, or rises to the surface depending... Ages 13–14
Buoyancy and floating – compare and explore Integrated Science · Forces & Motion Drop blocks into a tank of liquid to see three forces acting together: the weight W, the upthrust F_B = ρ·g·V_sub... Ages 13–14
Gravitational force – the basics Integrated Science · Forces & Motion Two spheres attract each other without touching, a classic example of a non-contact force; each sphere is held back... Ages 11–12
Pulling an Object with a Force Meter – Weight, Friction and Spring Extension Integrated Science · Forces & Motion A wooden block on a table is pulled by a spring force meter. Students drag the meter's hook (or the slider) to... Ages 11–12
Forces and motion – the basics Integrated Science · Forces & Motion Four screens to explore forces and motion: Net force builds two teams for a tug of war to show that the net force... Ages 11–12
Buoyancy – lab and shapes Integrated Science · Forces & Motion Three experiment screens on upthrust (Archimedes' principle). Lab lets you set the liquid density and gravity... Ages 13–14
