Relationship Between Energy And Forces Science Games

5 games

In this series of games, your students will learn how forces transfer energy. The Relationship Between Energy And Forces learning objective — based on NGSS and state standards — delivers improved student engagement and academic performance in your classroom, as demonstrated by research.

Scroll down for a preview of this learning objective’s games and the concepts they drive home.

Concepts Covered

When two objects interact, they exert force on each other. A physical push or pull, like friction, is a contact force. A force where the objects do not touch each other, like gravity or magnetic attraction, is a non-contact force.

During these interactions, energy can be transferred to or from an object in many forms. These interactions include physical collisions, as well as motions within gravitational, electric, and magnetic force fields.

When force is exerted and energy is transferred, the objects undergo a change. This can be a change in position, speed, direction, shape, or temperature.

Relationship Between Energy and Forces Estimated Duration: 4 minutes Force and energy are interconnected concepts that play a crucial role in our world. In this video, we'll explore how forces, both contact and noncontact, transfer energy between objects. We'll examine how work is done when forces move objects over distances and how simple machines like inclined planes and pulleys make tasks easier by spreading force over greater distances. Additionally, we'll look at how the distance between objects in a force field affects the potential energy stored in the system. Join us to understand the fascinating relationship between energy and forces.

Basketball Master Estimated Duration: 12 minutes Shoot a basketball through the hoop and answer some questions along the way! The game does not have any instructional content, it simply has review questions spread throughout.

Galaxy Escape Estimated Duration: 20 minutes 10 Bright Monsters have been captured in space and they need your help to cross the galaxy jumping between platforms, finding them, and releasing them by correctly answering each question. Each monster that you release and unlock will be available to play with in the next level, in the search for the next monster. In your journey, you’ll be able to find power-ups, like ‘Double points’ and ‘Slow down’, which can be activated by finding gems, and their duration can be extended by correctly answering a question. Unlock and release the 10 different monsters and a spaceship along 10 different levels, while you make the most possible points.

Little Newton in The Force of Energy Estimated Duration: 18 minutes Little Newton is lost! Help Little Newton find their way home by guiding them to the end of the level, avoiding all the obstacles. As you progress through the game, Little Newton will learn new skills that help them get through each level. Get through all six levels and return Newton to their home.
