Activity 1: Question Game. Estimated duration: 6 min

Ally & Albus Light a Fire

Hurry, help Ally save Albus from the cave! Race through the cave, while avoiding enemies and pitfalls, to collect coins and coals. When you collect pieces of coal, you will learn about thermal energy, temperature, and kinetic energy. Use the information at the end of the cave to beat the monster and save Albus. Get your navigating skills ready as you jump your way through the cave.

Activity 3: Question Game. Estimated duration: 14 min

Thermal Run

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.
