Entry #5

Preliminary Elements:
Title - Magnets
Publisher - Cool Math Games.com
Release Date - 1997 (site)
Game Type - Puzzle


Game Summary: Players destroy magnets by connecting 3 or more magnets of the same color together.  Players must remember that in order for them to connect correctly, opposite poles (N & S) must touch.


Educational Value: Science, Magnets


Opinion: It takes a few tries to get the hang of how the pieces move (you have to keep clicking for it to rotate), and then you have to remember that in order for the pieces to be "destroyed" the opposite poles must be matched up.  It's a fun way to reinforce concepts from the Magnets & Electricity unit, but still basic.
