  5. The Learning Topic • Forces and motion Physics is one of the easiest things to put in a game! • We don’t want to force students to do math, read equations or calculate remainders • The approach should be organic, • The central concept is to support learning

  6. How can it be done? • This is your Quest... • A FUN educational game that can be related back to Real Science by the student’s teacher.

  7. Cooperation • The games must be playable by 1 – 4 people • Yes their skill levels will vary • No the weak students can not just lose • All players should be able to continue play, regardless of skill • What can you do to accommodate this if your game is a simple 1 player game?
