Product Information

Learn the FUNdamentals of Physics

David Macaulay, author of the bestselling The New Way Things Work, has invented a completely new and original way to learn the FUNdamentals of Physics in a program that has become another DK software science classic! Macaulay's totally unique approach to teaching invites students to share in the author's own exuberance and curiosity about the world and how it works. Students will learn about various scientific principles as they go through the Inventor's Log- a fascinating view of the wonders of the world as explained by science. Students then apply their knowledge to become mechanical engineers in this program and actually design and build their own exciting pinball games. Using springs, hot air balloons, gears and more, as they learn more science they gather more and more gadgets they can use in building their games- as the bumpers and obstacles of their game come together, their knowledge of science increases.

Product Reviews
Boston Herald: "Design and use humorous pinball games, featuring a charming woolly mammoth--but only after you've learned a lot about force, energy, propulsion and other elements of physical science. This is a great gift even for those who claim to hate science."
