Activity 1: 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.

Activity 4: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

States of Matter: Basics - Phase Changes

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: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 22 min

Geofyra

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: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 20 min

Glacier Prison

Escape this prison of ice as a fire mage as fast as possible. It is also advisable to spare as much thermal energy as you can in the process, as you might need it later to keep yourself warm.

Activity 8: Video Game. Estimated duration: 4 min

Temperature, Thermal Energy, and Particle Motion

Thermal energy, or internal energy, is the total energy from the random movement of particles, while temperature measures the average kinetic energy of those particles. A larger amount of a substance, even at a lower temperature, can have more total thermal energy than a smaller amount at a higher temperature. This video explores the concepts of Temperature, Thermal Energy, and Particle Motion.
