"Phys 2: The Return of the Force" brings dynamics and free body diagrams to a nearby galaxy only slightly in the future. Experience challenging worlds and solve puzzles in order to unlock abilities and space gear. Current worlds: 1) Froth - a low friction ice planet that introduces net forces. 2) Bespent - experience gravity, normal force, jet packs, and crazy winds that make vertical motion exhilarating. 3) Mustaclose - friction and contact forces lurk around every corner. 4) Kamiyes - a planet full of intellectual culture and odd angles. Levels with simple decimal numbers (1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc.) allow players to experience the physics problems through adventure levels (applying force pushes, using jet-packs, doing a wall slide, etc.). Levels with letters (1.1a, 1.1b, 1.2a, etc.) allow players to solve dynamics puzzles through 3 steps (free body diagram creation, Fnet equation formation, and equation solving). Puzzles are carefully scaffolded and provide feedback to the player as they go!

The DOST Courseware is a locally-produced, all-original Filipino highly interactive multimedia educational application packages that are conceptualized, digitized and produced as spearheaded by the Science Education Institute (SEI-DOST) in partnership with the Advanced Science and Technology Institute (ASTI-DOST) and in cooperation with the Department of Education (DepEd), Philippine Normal University (PNU) and University of the Philippines-National Institute for Science and Mathematics Education (UP-NISMED), which aims to develop information and communication technology learning innovation to support the upgrading and improvement of science and mathematics education in the country. The DOST Courseware are provided for free to schools and are also made available online as supplemental resources for teachers and student as a fun and interactive approach to e-learning and blended learning. The Grade 7 DOST Courseware is composed of 120 lessons overall, 73 lessons in Science where it covered the domains on: Matter; Force, Motion and Energy, Living Things and Their Environment and Earth and Space while the 60 lessons in Mathematic covered the domains on: Numbers and Number Sense, Patterns and Algebra, and Geometry. The Grade 8 DOST Courseware is composed of 118 lessons overall, 61 lessons in Science where it covered the domains on: Parts and Functions, Ecosystems, Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits, Structures and Functions, Biodiversity, and Evolution, while the 57 lessons in Mathematics covered the domains on: Linear Equations, Quadratic Equations, Rational Algebraic Equations, Integral Exponents, Radicals, Arithmetic Sequence and Geometric Sequence. The themes of the courseware for Grades 7 and 8, Magicademy, Freddy’s Lab and D’nayao will surely amuse the users as they explore these distinct worlds while learning at the same time.
