Activity 2: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 12 min
The goal of this game is to help you learn about thermal energy through experimentation. You will be given different foods, like steak and ice cream, to place near hot and cold sources. Your goal is to maintain a safe temperature for that food. As you play, the game will teach you about thermal energy and how heat is transferred between objects.

Activity 4: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 13 min
You are a young engineer in a lab, and it is your day to learn about thermal energy. Each level imparts a new task related to heat transfer. Most of the tasks require you to heat up different materials like bricks, aluminum or plastics and measure or watch the change in temperature of each. You will try out fifteen different experiments to understand thermal energy.

Activity 5: Question Game. Estimated duration: 15 min
In this game, you'll hunt for elements to use to balance equations. As you collect your elements, you will need to watch out for the ghosts who are trying to steal them from you! You will only get faster when you answer questions about energy transfer correctly. If you can't make the correct the choice, the ghosts will catch up. Are you brave enough for this haunted lesson?

Activity 7: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 8 min
You will explore how energy flows in a chemical reaction. You will play two mini-games that will help you learn the material. In the first mini-game you will create endothermic and exothermic chemical reactions. In the second game, you will have to match three in a row of the same cards. You'll be tested for speed and knowledge throughout the game.
