What?

• Serious game to eliminate misconceptions about physics

• Focused at showing and explaining situation

• Aimed at middle school pupils (early start = important)

• After Effects & Ximpel

• Interactive by letting users:

• Discussion in class

• Experiment with new knowledge

• Test/score?

• Do try this at home

• Real-life examples (from Youtube)
