Physics Games
Free browser games for school kids covering physics topics — forces, energy, electricity, waves, space and more, grouped by age. These are coming soon; here is what to expect.
Basic Physics Games (ages 6–9)
Push & Pull
Decide whether a force shown in a picture is a push or a pull.
Light & Shadows
Predict the size and shape of a shadow made by moving the light source.
Magnets
Guess which objects a magnet will pick up and which it won't.
Sounds Around Us
Sort sounds by loud or quiet, and by high or low pitch.
Simple Machines
Spot the lever, wheel, ramp or pulley being used in everyday pictures.
Intermediate Physics Games (ages 9–13)
Forces & Motion
Calculate speed from distance and time in simple everyday scenarios.
Circuits
Build a simple circuit and tell series circuits apart from parallel ones.
Energy Transfers
Match everyday scenarios to the energy transfer taking place.
Waves
Label the parts of a wave — amplitude, wavelength and frequency.
Space & Orbits
Put the planets in order and match facts about our solar system.
GCSE Physics Games (ages 13–16)
Forces & Newton's Laws
Calculate force, mass and acceleration using F = ma.
Electricity Calculations
Practise voltage, current and resistance calculations using V = IR.
Energy & Work Done
Work out work done, gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy.
Waves & Radiation
Order the electromagnetic spectrum and practise wave speed calculations.
Momentum & Motion Graphs
Read distance-time and velocity-time graphs to answer motion questions.
