Potential Penguin (Unreleased)

Ever dreamed about learning physics concepts simply by playing with penguins?

Explore and learn the connection between potential and kinetic energy. Change the landscape in the game and control the potential energy of a penguin and see how this translates to the penguin’s motion—in other words, kinetic energy.

Overcome the obstacles and get Potential Penguin to the goal. In order to succeed the penguin cannot have too much kinetic energy. During the game we explain some of the physics behind the conservation of energy, and you will encounter the limitations posed by this and learn how to overcome them.

At ScienceAtHome we believe that students learning through games will become better contributors to citizen science. That’s why we are constantly working on developing and improving games where you can can learn about the theories of physics simply by playing games.
