Phun is a 2D "physics sandbox," a program created by a Swedish CompSci major as his Master of Science thesis. It's way cool; a great way for kids (of all ages) to learn physics concepts. It's available for Mac, Windows, and Linux.

I played around with this a few weeks ago - I really enjoy little sandboxes like it, especially physics-based ones! It reminds me a lot of my friend Petri's game Crayon Physics (http://www.kloonigames.com/crayon/), with more possible physics interactions but no goal structure. Fun times!
