Activity 1: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 17 min

Light Shot - Transmission and Refraction of Light

Light usually travels in straight lines but did you know that you can bend it using different materials? In this game, you will use a light ray to shoot and refract light. Your player will be transported to wherever her ray goes. As you play, you'll learn about how different materials bend light in different ways. Are you bright enough for this puzzle?

Activity 2: Question Game. Estimated duration: 20 min

Galaxy Escape

10 Bright Monsters have been captured in space and they need your help to cross the galaxy jumping between platforms, finding them, and releasing them by correctly answering each question. Each monster that you release and unlock will be available to play with in the next level, in the search for the next monster. In your journey, you’ll be able to find power-ups, like ‘Double points’ and ‘Slow down’, which can be activated by finding gems, and their duration can be extended by correctly answering a question. Unlock and release the 10 different monsters and a spaceship along 10 different levels, while you make the most possible points.
