Activity 1: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 15 min

Lift the Ship

In this game, students will manipulate water evaporating, condensing, and freezing it to see it in solid, liquid, and gas states. They will be regularly reminded that the original mass and volume stays the same throughout these changes. The simulation is a great alternative to organizing lab work!

Activity 5: Question Game. Estimated duration: 14 min

Tower Puzzle: Atoms and Elements (Elem)

Put your thinking caps on and get ready for some rapid-fire questions about atoms, elements, and the properties of the periodic table. The more questions you get right the more chances you have to solve the tower puzzle. You need to disassemble the tower quickly while the ball falls to the platform! Learn about atomic structure while working through this fun puzzle.

Activity 6: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

States of Matter: Basics - Phase Changes

Heat, cool, and compress atoms and molecules and watch as they change between solid, liquid and gas phases. Pump more atoms and molecules into the system or change the temperature or volume of a container, and see a pressure-temperature diagram respond in real time. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Activity 7: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 11 min

Molecool (Elem)

Get ready for a high definition learning experience where you will learn about atoms and molecules. You'll learn how molecules form and come together by controlling putting the parts together yourself. You will move the atoms and particles to see first-hand how molecules are created. Have fun, and get ready to read and answer questions as you go along!

Activity 8: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 5 min

Journey to the Sea (Elem) Deprecated

You are an ice cube on a journey to the ocean. Your path will provide obstacles along the way and you will have to change "states" in order to maneuver through the maze. Watch and decide whether you need to be a liquid, solid or gas to complete the journey. The journey ends when you reach the ocean. Where will the water molecule's journey go next?
