Teacher notes to GAME: Wake Up The Box - 0 views

  • Yes, it seems that narcoleptic Mr. Box has gotten himself in a bit of a conundrum. Or rather, twenty conundrums. Your goal is to wake him up ‒ push him, pull him, tip him over... whatever gets the job done. Problem is, all you have to work with are these blocks of wood, and what's worse, you can't even place them where you want! They may only be attached to existing wood structures, and once you stick them on, they stay stuck. Thus, Eugene Karataev's (Splitter) latest game Wake Up The Box provides a unique challenge among physics puzzlers, with balance and centers of gravity taking center stage. Unlike most games, you can't simply increase the momentum in the system by dropping blocks from a higher height, so you'll need to find creative ways to get things moving by utilizing leverage and upsetting the balance of objects in the level.

Ancient Egypt through Google Earth - 0 views

  • Google Earth is a powerful software tool that enables you to look at the world top-down, using satellite images. Though not "in real time", it’s a great tool for anyone interested in Archeology/ Ancient History.&nbsp; Especially for those interested in Ancient Egyptian History. Since the ancient Egyptians built in stone, a lot of their monuments are still visible, still stand. (As compared to for example ancient Sumerian, Mesopotamian architecture that has often disappeared, since the ancient Sumerian didn’t use stone)
