It's a puzzle game for the Mac, Wii and PC where you build structures that behave differently depending on weather, the properties of the materials used, and the different forces that act on them. These are the dry topics covered in my (hated) high school physics class, but are presented here in an inituitive and scaffolded way... in a bizarre Tim Burton-esque universe.
Physics software and sharing site. Combination of art and science. 2D physics sandbox. Constructionist learning paradigm.
This blog shares about "Fantastic contraption" which is a web-based video game that teaches the principles of physics through experimentation, problem-solving and hypothesizing. It has a link to the game.
Exactly as described above! Kids and adults can play this colorful flash-based game.
"The way we are doing this is to lecture a little bit, do problem solving, and do experiments. It's all continuous, it's all in context. And that's a much better way to teach concepts-some theory, then integrated experiments. A big part of this is putting the hands-on stuff back in." — Prof. John Belcher
Walter H. G. Lewin, 71, a physics professor, has long had a cult
following at M.I.T. And he has now emerged as an international Internet
guru, thanks to the global classroom the institute created to spread
knowledge through cyberspace.
