What the games do
Each game practises one skill from the physics you learn at school. You might rearrange an equation, convert kilometres per hour into metres per second, or read the gradient of a graph.
Units count. An answer with the wrong unit is marked wrong, so checking the unit becomes a habit.
When you get something wrong, the game shows the working, so you can see where it went off track.
Who it is for
The games are written for students aged 11 to 16, in Key Stage 3 (Years 7 to 9) and GCSE (Years 10 and 11).
Teachers use them as lesson starters, homework and revision. The page for teachers has ideas and direct links. Parents can read how the site works at home.
How we check the science
Every answer in every game is worked out by the game and then worked out again by a separate test. If the two disagree, the game does not go live.
Details that change between exam boards, such as which equations a board lists or how it prints a value, come from that board's own specification or data sheet. We link to the board's document wherever we use one.
If you spot a mistake, report it on the contact page and we will fix it.
Free, with no login
Every game is free. You don't need an account, an email address or a password. We don't show adverts and we don't use tracking cookies. The privacy policy explains what little we collect.
Who makes it
Crazy Science Games is made by Sticky Pig Studios in the United Kingdom. Our sister site, Crazy Maths Games, does the same for maths.
Questions people ask
Is Crazy Science Games free?
Yes. Every game is free to play, with no subscription and nothing to buy.
Do students need an account?
No. Students open a game and press Start. There is no login, and we never ask for a name or email address to play.
Which exam boards do the games cover?
The physics games follow the GCSE content that AQA, Edexcel and OCR share. Where the boards differ, the page says which board it means and links to that board's own document.
