We decided to test it first and saw a demo at A Computer Plus. 
It is true, kids learn best by doing! With PhysicaElementa, kids 
enhance their Problem Solving Skills as they gain an understanding 
of basic physics concepts. Animated sequences with narration, help 
to introduce the concept being studied. As kids answer the questions 
and build their knowledge, their progress is assessed using Fuzzy
Logic and a unique Artificial Intelligence engine that is designed 
to monitor and adapt based on the student's responses. Funny Stories 
and real life situations complete the learning process and help kids 
to make the link between the concept at hand and the real world.
So we bought it for Christmas.
