"get the ball in the cup" puzzles. The game even allows kids to create their own puzzles.
CheMeteor (Pomona College) uses an Asteroids-like format, getting students to shoot the meteors with the right kind ofweapon to create chemical compounds and neutralize them.
Tank-Q (Columbia Teachers College) is a "save the planet" tank shooting game that teaches forces
and acceleration while students try to save the world.
Newton's Carnival (UC Santa Barbara) has students make their way through a series of "Rube
Goldberg" type machines and learn Newton's Laws while they're at it.
Dragonfly (Anne Arundel Community College) is a 3D adventure game where students fly through the ocean
as adragonfly larva, trying not to get eaten by fish and learning science along the way.
