Making Connections between the Digital and Physical World
McConnell, William J.; Dickerson, Daniel
Science and Children, v51 n4 p38-43 Dec 2013
One game that seems to intrigue almost any child is Angry Birds, a popular video game available on most media devices in which a player uses a slingshot to hurl small, angry birds through the air in hopes they will knock over pigs resting on complex, destructible structures. Presented in this article is a half-day lesson, in which fourth graders design, build, and play a real-life version of the game, providing the educator an avenue to incorporate engineering design and science concepts.
