Activity 1: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

Wave Interference - Interference

Explore how a pair of wave sources create an interference pattern. Adjust the source frequency and separation, and determine how to change the interference pattern. Identify points of constructive and destructive interference by eye, and by using the detectors. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Activity 2: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

Wave Interference - Slits

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 3: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 11 min

Roy G Biv

Reflect that rainbow! In ROYGBIV, you'll reflect beams of light from start to finish. Make sure the right color of light reaches the right finish line. You will learn all about wavelength, period and frequency in this engaging puzzle game. When you complete your rainbow task, take the quiz to show off your color and light mastery.

Activity 4: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 24 min

Signalton (Mid)

This game will take you on a journey through time and demonstrate the different ways we can communicate using analog and digital signals. First you will have to make several connections between locations using analog signals. Then, with the advent of new technology, you will have to make connections between different devices while using different types of signals. Use what you learn to solve the puzzles and connect signals.
