Activity 2: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 18 min
In this game, you will tackle fun puzzles that push you to use your critical thinking skills along with your knowledge of energy. Use springs, conveyor belts, and solar panels to move a car across a board and accomplish your goal. Sounds easy? Not quite. Get ready for a challenge that will but your engineering skills to the test.

Activity 3: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 14 min
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.
