Gravity Pilot Trainer

With the Gravity Pilot Trainer, students launch rockets to reach targets on and above Earth, in orbit, and on other planets in our solar system. As they experiment with different angles of launch and amounts of thrust, students build a working knowledge of the basic mechanics of gravity and of orbital motion in different regions of the solar system.

Accurate simulations presented as game-like puzzles allow students to grasp and begin applying concepts that would otherwise be too mathematical and abstract for the third- to sixth-grade curriculum. Topics typically not studied until a much higher grade level are brought within the reach of elementary-school students.
