This activity has been designed to be used by students alone or guided by teachers or parents. Follow the links above depending on your mission.

Norbert and Zot

Norbert and Zot need help designing a model of Norbania. Create an extrasolar Norbania by placing exotic worlds around the Norbanian Sun and observing how the worlds orbit the sun. Learn how the distance to the Norbanian sun and the period of revolution are related through Kepler's Third Law.

Playing is a great way to learn. The activity is set up so you can play and observe. You can also read the web book to reinforce your exploration. With Squeak you can challenge yourself and modify the project to create more Norbanian planets. Have fun and explore.
