Activity 1: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 16 min

Study Escape Room: Changing Temperature

In this game, you will try to escape from a room that is almost entirely dark. As you wander around the halls you will encounter information blocks and question gates. Pick up clues from the blocks along the way and answer questions about temperature, thermal energy, and energy exchange. Be patient as you play and try to find your way out of the study room.

Activity 2: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 21 min

Temperature and Total Energy

Do you have energy? Of course you do! Everything has energy. This game will teach you about a very specific type of energy called thermal energy. You will learn to use the Bunsen burner to increase temperature, the balance scale to measure mass, and the thermometer to measure temperature. You will then apply all of these skills to answer questions about thermal energy.

Activity 3: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 13 min

Flow of thermal energy (Mid)

You are a young engineer in a lab, and it is your day to learn about thermal energy. Each level imparts a new task related to heat transfer. Most of the tasks require you to heat up different materials like bricks, aluminum or plastics and measure or watch the change in temperature of each. You will try out fifteen different experiments to understand thermal energy.

Activity 4: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 12 min

Temperature, Thermal Energy and Particle Motion

This game is a simulation of how temperature is related to particle motion and thermal energy. It is a step by step explanation of the role of heating sources, thermometers, and kinetic energy involved in particle motion. You will have to complete basic tasks such as adding heat, reading a thermometer, and sorting cups based on temperature. Complete all stages of the game to win!

Potential Match

How much do you like puzzles? In this game, you aren't just putting puzzle pieces together. You will be using your knowledge of the relationship between kinetic and potential energy to solve physics puzzles. You will use pendulums, ramps, slingshots, and other devices to hit a target. You get to control each tool with what you know about energy! Good luck!

Potential Disaster

Do you have energy? In this game, you will store up your potential energy to play several mini-games. Each mini-game can be completed by utilizing different types of potential energy. You'll need to learn about gravitational and elastic energies and put them to use in the challenge section. The more you know the more points you'll earn. What will your high score be?
