Session description

Gravity is part of our curriculum, yet when it comes to topics such as weightlessness in space, educators and students hold many misconceptions. Learn about the free augmented reality application we developed and get a host of teaching resources.

Purpose & objective

Our objective is to have participants learn how to use a new augmented reality simulation to enhance their students understanding of gravity with a Newton's Cannon simulation. We will also provide a lesson plan for educators to adopt in the classroom. Rosengrant has developed a simulation in the past that has been proven successful to use in the classroom environment.
