Activity 1: Question Game. Estimated duration: 11 min

Temperature Range (Mid)

It's time to take a shot at learning about temperature change in states of matter! Use your slingshot to hit the flying objects that will cross your screen. Some of the objects that you hit will provide you with facts. You will see other objects that will give you questions to answer that will boost your score. As the levels advance, the objects will move more quickly! Good luck!

Activity 2: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

Energy Forms and Changes - Intro

Explore how heating and cooling iron, brick, water, and olive oil adds or removes energy. Visualize the energy in the system as discrete chunks, and observe how energy is transferred between objects. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Activity 3: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 12 min

Thermal Flow (Mid)

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: 21 min

Temperature and Total Energy

Do you have energy? Of course you do! Everything has energy. This game will teach you about a very specific type of energy called thermal energy. You will learn to use the Bunsen burner to increase temperature, the balance scale to measure mass, and the thermometer to measure temperature. You will then apply all of these skills to answer questions about thermal energy.

Activity 5: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 13 min

Flow of thermal energy (Mid)

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.
