Activity 2: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min
Circuit Construction Kit: DC - Intro
Experiment with an electronics kit! Build circuits with batteries, resistors, light bulbs, and switches. Take measurements with an ammeter and voltmeter, and test common objects to determine if they are conductors or insulators. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Balloons and Static Electricity
Ever wonder why a balloon sticks to your sweater or a wall? Explore the charges in the sweater, balloons, and the wall as you investigate static electricity. Describe and raw models for common static electricity concepts including charge transfer, attraction, and repulsion. Show or hide the charges, and make predictions about behavior of the balloon. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Newton Pool
The game consists of hand-crafted levels where the player controls a white ball. The goal of each level is to get the white ball to the end of the level in as few moves as possible, while racking up points by bumping golden balls into obstacles on the way! The game does not have any instructional math content, it simply has math review questions spread throughout.
