First Graders Try Some Physics Concepts

Using the program, Crayon Physics, first graders have been practicing their mouse skills, problem solving, and helping one another.  One of the benefits of this game is that no one student will solve the puzzles the same way.  We all draw our lines, boxes, and anchors differently using a mouse.  The purpose of the game is to have the ball drop onto a star.  Sometimes you have to make the ball fall the right way, other times you have to think of a solution to make it seemingly travel uphill.  The students have a lot of fun thinking of different solutions!
