You may choose to copy and paste the code from trinket into a new Glowscript program, or you can try out trinket for this activity. Both websites are useful, and they offer different affordances and constraints. text/html 2019-08-08T17:34:41+0000 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://msuperl.org/wikis/icsam/doku.php?id=summer_2019:workshop_materials&rev=1565285681&do=diff 2019 Workshop Materials Monday * Getting started with Glowscript * Common Commands and Tips for Python * Activity: Placing objects in Glowscript * Activity: Making objects move in Glowscript * Activity: "Escape from Ice Station McMurdo" Tuesday * Activity: Universal gravitation and geostationary orbit * Activity: Modeling an ideal gas particle Wednesday * Tips for programming with Glowscript Extra Content * 2D Motion and Free Fall
