= = =Explore the Galaxy This free space simulation program lets you look at the entire universe in three dimensions. As the developers state, the exponentail zoom feature lets you explore space across a huge rangeof scales, from galaxy clusters down to spacecraft only a few meters across. A "point and go to" interface makes it simple to navigate through the universe. Celestia comes with a large catalog of stars, galaxies, planets, moons, asteroids, comets and spacecraft. If that's not enough, you can download dozens of easy to install add-ons with more objects. = =Physics = = A video game that lets you be creative. It would give you a problem. And then, you could solve it any way you’d like. NumptyPhysics is a physics-based puzzle game. The goal is rather simple. You have to move the red ball to the gold star. And you do it by drawing objects in the environment. You can draw anything you want. Create a ramp to launch the ball. Or build a swinging hammer to knock it across the level. It’s up to you. It never gets old, because you decide how to play. = = = = = =Musculoskeletal Game Show = = This is a jeopardy style game show related to the musculoskeletal system for my human diseases class.
