Goal

To create an educational, interactive and

multimedia application, which in the same way as our resource book,helped to find and

understand relations in physical phenomena.

Physics as an Adventureof Cognition

Future Work

Record sounds also for questions Add some music to silent places Create more experiments Create version for Internet = sounds

replaced by texts Create experiments as interactive

realistic 3D models

Motivation

Children want to play

The real games (physical experiment)+ touch

Experiment in our application+ possibility to change many other

parameters
