Activity 3: Question Game. Estimated duration: 11 min
There are fifteen levels in this game. In each level, you will look for hidden objects in a mess of other objects, but you have a limited amount of time. Once you find the objects, you will get to answer a question. If you answer the question correctly, you will add extra time to the clock while you are searching for the hidden objects.

Activity 4: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 12 min
The goal of this game is to help you learn about thermal energy through experimentation. You will be given different foods, like steak and ice cream, to place near hot and cold sources. Your goal is to maintain a safe temperature for that food. As you play, the game will teach you about thermal energy and how heat is transferred between objects.

Activity 6: Question Game. Estimated duration: 13 min
Get in the Flow as you learn about thermal energy transfer. Hop from platform to platform to collect coins in a beautiful ecosystem. Don't fall in the pits! If you do, you'll have to answer a question about biodiversity to continue. Each question is about the transfer of thermal energy. The objective is to reach the flag on the very last column. Good luck!

Activity 7: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 13 min
You are a young engineer in a lab, and it is your day to learn about thermal energy. Each level imparts a new task related to heat transfer. Most of the tasks require you to heat up different materials like bricks, aluminum or plastics and measure or watch the change in temperature of each. You will try out fifteen different experiments to understand thermal energy.
