This activity is a great way to get middle school students interested in Physics.  It shows them the relevance of Physics to their lives by giving brief explanations of how everyday objects work using key Physics vocabulary.  This activity would be useful as an introduction into Physics that further lesson could be built off of.

Technical Remarks:

The program functioned with no diffulties and was easy to navigate.  The graphics aren't great, but they are good enough to peak student interest.
