Activity 2: Question Game. Estimated duration: 13 min
You will swing to the sky! In this game about waves, learn about waves and their properties as you ascend a tower. Use your grappling hook to climb from wall to wall like a ninja. Dodge the dangerous spikes on each side or meet an untimely end. Watch out for the laser tripwires, and don't let go of your rope.

Activity 3: Question Game. Estimated duration: 12 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: 13 min
A fun puzzle game where you must match a target wave by tweaking the properties of your waves. You manipulate the wavelength, amplitude, and phase of your waves with knobs and sliders. Playing with the wave properties and immediately see the result encourages intuitive hands-on understanding!
