Concept Checker for Gravitational Fields Simulation


Our Concept Checker for the Gravitational Fields simulation consists of 32 questions organized into 8 Question Groups. Students must correctly answer one question from each Question Group to earn the Trophy for this Concept Checker. 

Like all our Concept Checkers, it is designed to be used as a follow-up to an activity - the Gravitational Fields simulation. We recommend the use of our classroom-ready exercise to guide one's exploration of the system.

The Concept Checker targets student understanding of the following learning outcomes:
  • The student should be able to describe the effect of the mass of the two atrracting objects upon the force of gravitational attraction between the two objects.
  • The student be able to describe the effect of separation distance between two massive objects upon the force of gravitational attraction between the objects.
