No, not related to my earlier post about the Smart Magic Pen, but more related to my post about Phun the other week.
Thanks to Science Punk for linking to another fun little Real Physics application called Magic Pen.
Magic Pen is like Phun in that you use a crayon to draw objects that then behave on the screen as if they were real. Balls roll, oblongs topple down under gravity etc. This time, there’s an actual objective. You need to get the little ball to the flag. You might need to just roll a ball into it to make it move, or you could build a more complex solution.
It’s very neat, and would be great on an IWB as a lesson starter activity.

Aduh, Danny – another hour of sleep lost after visiting your blog (and finding something to play with). Keep these ideas and links coming – they’re great.
Hoping to hunt about and get more ideas now that the IB exams are over!
