Activity 1: 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.

Energy Blast (Elem)

It's time to take a shot at learning about thermal energy! Use your slingshot to hit the flying objects that will cross your screen. Some of the objects that you hit will provide you with facts. You will see other objects that will give you questions to answer that will boost your score. As the levels advance, the objects will move more quickly! Good luck!
