The physics section is my grandson's favorite. He loves the lasers game in which he has to place mirrors in certain places to reflect the laser to a target. It does get trickier as the harder levels are opened. The force of gravity is fun, as you have to place bouncy things in different places so that a falling object does not go past a bucket. It is challenging, but gives you three tries to get it right. I like it because it is a game that he just doesn't play for a couple of times and beats it...he is actually learning while playing and advancing in the game.

Do you want learn about the different sounds of air, sound effects or creating colors, then colors and sounds it is. Physics allows players to learn how electrical current, lasers and the forces of gravity work. Ever wonder where a certain human bone is? Which senses are used at what times? Or where human organs belong? Yes, this is one game that is packed full of learning.
