Activity 2: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min
Put up a barrier to see how the waves move through one or two slits, and discover the resulting interference pattern. Determine how to change the pattern by adjusting the slit width and separation. Predict the location of the interference maxima and minima, and verify your predictions. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Activity 4: Question Game. Estimated duration: 15 min
Get ready to go to battle! After learning information about sound waves, you will control your spaceship to do battle and destroy the obstacles that come your way and threaten the universe. You must answer questions to earn bonus points and get more flying time in your space ship. Your understanding of sound waves and how they travel through different media will help you master each level.

Activity 5: Question Game. Estimated duration: 13 min
At the start of this game, you will learn about electromagnetic and mechanical waves. After a series of facts, you will race through a tunnel in a spacecraft. You must soar through barriers and collect coins. If you do not navigate around the barriers, you must answer a question correctly to continue. The start of each level gives you a new piece of information.
