Our project
Most of the high school students have difficulties in learning physics. The major reason is that the physics in high schools is taught as it is only a course subject which they have to pass and not related with the real world. Therefore, students cannot associate the knowledge they learned in class with real life and the knowledge cannot go further than a memorization. However, we know that the better way to learn physics is to visualize the concepts and relate them to daily life. Considering that students at that age are more proned to play games than studying physics which is also a severe problem, we can propose a solution that combines physics with computer games. From childhood to adulthood, games have an important role in learning, since it helps increasing imagination, creative thinking, curiosity and exploring the environment with fun. Therefore, a game that uses ninth grade physics as rules may have a great contribution for the solution of this problem. The reason why we chose ninth grade is it covers the very basic and significant parts of the physics and has too many examples in real world. Despite there are many educational physics game in the market, the need for such game still exists. This is because the existing games are either question answer type which most students find boring or very funny but not sufficient for the level of high school students.
