Activity 1: Question Game. Estimated duration: 11 min

Energy Blast (Mid)

It's time to take a shot at learning about thermal energy! 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!

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.
