We love science, but what we love even more is playing with science. The physical game worlds we’ve created invite your child to experience, enjoy, and discover the physical properties that make up our world in a way that encourages curiosity, creativity, and a fun learning experience.
Interactive World
The children of this generation live their lives throw screens and electronics.
Park Player has developed a line of products that bridge the gap between technology and old style playgrounds.
We offer mobile integration, electronics, lights and sounds to attract children in all ages and engage outdoor activities with friends.
World of Gravity
?Did you ever wonder why we come back down after we jump off the ground
Have you ever asked why an object, tossed in the air, comes back in a straight line to land on the ground?
One of the laws the world runs by is gravity, which pulls both ways between two material objects which have mass. This force gets bigger as the mass of the objects being pulled gets bigger, and smaller as the objects get farther apart from one another.
An old story tells us that one day, in the year 1669, Isaac Newton was sitting beneath an apple tree when an apple suddenly fell from the tree and landed on his head. That made him wonder why the apple had fallen, as well as about the speed it reached during the fall.
That experience, according to the story, led the famous scientist to formulate the Laws of Classical Mechanics, which have endured to this day as the foundation for our understanding of forces and movement of objects in the world.
World of Energy Conversion
Energy has many forms in nature, and enables all the activities that take place in the universe
There are different kinds of energy
Movement energy – when a body is in motion, for instance, a train traveling down the tracks.
Elastic energy – contraction of bending of an object, for instance, pushing or pulling a spring.
Height energy – stored in an object which is raised from the earth and which is used as the object falls, for instance, a waterfall.
Electric energy – passing a flow through a conductive material, turning on an electrical device.
Sound energy – making a noise, vibrations moving through a substance, for instance, sounds coming from a speaker.
Chemical energy – when a material undergoes a chemical change, for instance, gas combustion, burning wood, using gas for cooking, and more.
Energy changes its shape and shifts from one form of energy to another. Thanks to this conversion of energy, human beings can take advantage of energy for all of our needs as well.
Energy stored up in our muscles is converted to mechanical energy at a frequency which can vibrate rods (a resonant device), to rotational mechanical energy in a hamster wheel, barrel walking, or through the pedals of a bike.
These are all just a few ways that energy can be converted into sound, movement, and light.
World of Optics
Optics (a field of physics) describes the geometric and physical properties of light
Light is a transmission of energy carried on an electromagnetic wave which moves from a light source, near or far, and advances through space in straight lines.
The sun is our main source of light, sending its light through the cosmos including towards the face of the earth.
This radiation originates in the sun’s outer layer where the temperature can reach 5,500 degrees Celsius (9,932 degrees Fahrenheit).
The speed of this electromagnetic radiation, which reaches about 300,000 km per second (186,000 miles per second), is the fastest known speed in the universe.
An optical illusion is a type of illusion which involves fooling your visual perception of a picture or a shape. The eye gathers visual information which it decodes within the brain, and there are ways to trick the brain and cause it to perceive something which doesn’t actually exist.
World of Sounds
We can see the shape of energy transmission in sound waves passing through air, a medium which vibrates the air particles, so the waves can move sea water
When these waves hit our ears, they trigger our sense of sound.
Sound waves spread through space, but require a medium in order to move: either air, liquids, or a solid medium.
Sound waves can’t spread through a vacuum.
The source of sound creates in the medium surround it periodic fluctuations. These fluctuations are like circular ripples that spread through water when you toss in a stone. But unlike waves in water, sound waves spread through space in all directions, and the speed they spread out at is much higher than the speed of ripples in the water.
The speed of sound waves is much slower than the speed of light waves. This difference explains the time lapse between seeing lightning and hearing thunder, even though they’re created at the exact same moment.
For every vibrating object, which vibrates the air and creates a sound wave, the speed of the vibration is different. When our ears pick up vibrations at different speeds, we hear them as higher or lower sounds. The faster the speed of the vibration, the faster the waves spreading from the vibrating object, and the higher the sound we will hear.
Small World
We allow your children to enjoy an integrated activity space specifically dedicated to and designed for them and their needs. There, they can test boundaries, develop imagination, improve physical and cognitive abilities, discover new friendships and deepen their self-confidence in a friendly, inviting, and fun environment
