Activity 3: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min
Heat, cool, and compress atoms and molecules and watch as they change between solid, liquid and gas phases. Pump more atoms and molecules into the system or change the temperature or volume of a container, and see a pressure-temperature diagram respond in real time. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Activity 5: Question Game. Estimated duration: 13 min
You will enter the P.S. Lab. The P.S. Lab is a top-secret lab that has a special machine only you can use. You will use the machine to launch orbs to match three of the same color. Some orbs are factoids, that you can open to teach you about heat, thermal energy, and kinetic energy. Some orbs are questions, which you will have to answer correctly.

Activity 6: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 22 min
In this game, you will have to use newly gained knowledge of temperature and thermal energy to rescue a lost space drone. Be warned! There are space pirates, meteorite monsters, and lava organisms standing in your way! You'll need to outsmart the extra-terrestrials and move quickly to ensure you are not captured. Play this game to learn about measuring temperature and save the drone.

Activity 7: Question Game. Estimated duration: 14 min
At the start of this game, you will learn about particle motion. After a series of facts, you will race through a tunnel in a spacecraft. You must soar through barriers and collect coins. If you do not navigate around the barriers, you must answer a question correctly to continue. The start of each level gives you a new piece of information.

Activity 8: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 12 min
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!
