Activity 3: Question Game. Estimated duration: 10 min
It's time to take a step at learning about kinetic energy, literally! Use your squirt soaker to aim at the flying objects that will cross your screen. Some of the objects that you hit will provide you with facts. You will see other objects that will give you questions to answer that will boost your score. As the levels advance, the objects will move more quickly! Good luck!

Activity 4: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 14 min
How much do you like puzzles? In this game, you aren't just putting puzzle pieces together. You will be using your knowledge of the relationship between kinetic and potential energy to solve physics puzzles. You will use pendulums, ramps, slingshots, and other devices to hit a target. You get to control each tool with what you know about energy! Good luck!

Activity 5: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 11 min
Do you have energy? In this game, you will store up your potential energy to play several mini-games. Each mini-game can be completed by utilizing different types of potential energy. You'll need to learn about gravitational and elastic energies and put them to use in the challenge section. The more you know the more points you'll earn. What will your high score be?
