Newton's Sandbox
Apply forces and feel F = ma come alive. Push, stop, and orbit with thrust.
A growing collection of browser games that teach orbital mechanics and Newtonian physics by making the math visible. No signup, no downloads, no math anxiety — just an arrow key and a question.
Apply forces and feel F = ma come alive. Push, stop, and orbit with thrust.
Drag an arrow to launch a planet. Watch Kepler's three laws emerge from the math.
Plan a fuel-optimal trip between two circular orbits. Two burns, one transfer ellipse.
The counterintuitive lesson: to catch up, slow down.
Every level has a stated learning objective. The math panel shows real-time values — no fake numbers. Each game will ship with printable worksheets and NGSS alignment notes.
