Activity 1: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 14 min

Caveman Joe and the Conservation of Energy

This game begins with a tutorial on conservation of energy and the types of energy. After the tutorial, it is your duty to guide a caveman across the ground. Along the way, you will learn about energy conversions. As he moves, your caveman will encounter a variety of obstacles, and each level is more challenging to complete. Beat the monster in the final level to win.

Activity 6: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 15 min

Conservation of energy (Mid)

Relax and save energy! You will enter the lab and learn about conservation of energy through a series of fun mini-games. You will use your knowledge of gravity to shoot balls into a basket. Shoot off some fireworks to convert chemical energy to light energy. Conserve energy with a Newton's cradle device. Enjoy the mini-games as you learn!
