Crayon Physics

Lately, I have been playing a game called CRAYON PHYSICS on the computer. Physics is about how things move. Crayons are about drawing things. In CRAYON PHYSICS, you draw things with a crayon, and then they move. They always move according to gravity. Using gravity and the things you draw, you have to make a red ball move until it touches a gold star.






It's easy to learn and, at the beginning, it's easy to play. Later it gets hard because you have to draw pivots, bridges, pulleys, seesaws and lots of rocks to make the ball move to the right place.

Since I started playing the game, I've been thinking about some other things that move according to gravity. There is:

SNOW...


My dogs' drool...
Me when I pas de chat in ballet...
(that's not me [YET])


and shooting stars which are really meteors falling to Earth because of gravity

Gravity is everywhere! And so is physics. And if you come to our house, crayons are everywhere too!

If you want to try CRAYON PHYSICS, here's the link: http://www.crayonphysics.com/

Crayon Physics is the coolest thing EVER. Can't wait 'til my kids are home so we can get online and check it out.
