Game Link
Kerbal Space Program is a multi-genre game where the players create their own space program.  In KSP, you must build a space-worthy craft, capable of flying its crew out into space, without killing them. At your disposal is a collection of parts, which must be assembled to create a functional ship. Each part has its own function and will affect the way a ship flies (or doesn't). So strap yourself in, and get ready to try some Rocket Science!

GAME LINK
Guts and Bolts helps students understand the complex relationships among the circulatory, respiratory, and digestives systems in the human body. Students play from the perspective of Moby, who is trying to create a robot version of Tim. By connecting “parts” (body organs) and “pipes” (arteries and veins) in each of 11 increasingly complex steps, students develop an understanding of the interrelationships that exist among body systems. The goal of the game is to successfully create a robot with functional “guts and bolts.”

GAME LINK
Planet Mechanic is a game about planets and their specific properties. In this game players have the ability to experiment with a planet orbiting a star, and to alter the planet’s core attributes of atmosphere, tilt, rotation, and moon. They will be challenged to create specific planetary conditions to appease the ever-changing whims of a race of aliens living on the planet. The aliens will require alterations in temperature, atmosphere, seasons, day length, tides, and even eclipses to meet certain living conditions from level to level. Through his or her actions, a player will be able to model how a planet’s attributes work together to impact the properties and conditions of that world.
