Car Challenge - Reference Frames and Scale Units

Is there any better way to learn about the physical concept of frames of reference and scale units than to drive around a fancy red car? We think not. In this interactive simulation, you will experience how cars can change speed, direction, and acceleration. See how speed is measured against a stationary frame of reference. The game ends with a quiz to test your understanding of the concepts explored.

Angry Contraptions

This is a physics-based puzzle game where you must collect all the stars on the level. You do this by using Newton's first and second laws to propel three types of balls into the air, but each ball has a different mass. You will have to find a different way to throw each ball. At the end of each level, there is a quiz on the Newton's first and second laws.
