The student is guided step by step to create their own “Sun and two planets” method, which uses actual planetary mass and vector and coordinates, scaled appropriately. It is not a worksheet in the conventional sense of asking questions over the material from Chapter 6, but rather an exercise in simulation.

Level: Beginner

Duration: 60 minutes or so.

Teaches: Parameters, Vectors. It is not actually a programming challenge, but uses Math to simulate a partial solar system.
