Join the Contest!
The makers of Osmos have sponsored a contest open to all physics enthusiasts - students, teachers, everyone. Here's how it works:

Create a one-minute video illustrating a physics concept that you discover in the game. The top entry will receive a $500 gift card to Amazon.com. The top three runners up will also receive prizes.

To submit your entry, follow the instructions below.
  • Download and install the Osmos free demo. (Or purchase Osmos from the App Store.)
  • Experiment with your gameplay to illustrate physics concepts using Osmos as your virtual lab.
  • Review the official contest rules.
  • Create a video illustrating a physics concept.
    (If you want to record your screen, try Jing or ScreenChomp)
  • Upload your video to YouTube, Vimeo, or Screencast.com
  • Complete the submission form by 11:59PM PST, January 2, 2012.
Winners will be announced on January 4, 2012. 


Teacher Notes
  • This contest would make a great activity for the final days before the holiday break from school. It would also be a fun project for advanced physics students over the break.
