I am a biochemist, making games to teach the invisible bits of cell biology.
I enjoyed this little puzzle game. I think 5th graders could learn how electricity works, using this game. Once we can play around and experiment with things, they are so much easier to learn. The concepts of "completed circuit" and "Daisy-Chained" are not abstract, they are right here in my working circuit that I just made! This is what science games can do for us: teach more (cool) advanced concepts to younger people! Thanks, Crack the Circuit!
This game is a true puzzle game. It would be more fun to play on the phone... On the computer, it makes me feel exactly like I am working on a circuit... like I am being an electrical engineer. This game is perfect for school... and when the mobile version is available, you'll see me in the grocery check out line, learning physics!!

This game is certainly attention-grabbing as I found myself wanting to get through all 18 levels. The help button is a nice option, but maybe a clue or brief lesson could be more helpful than just placing the items. Also felt like I got lucky with some of my solutions, so a brief after explaining why it worked could certainly help drive home some of the learning principles.
