Fiery Jump

You are on fire in this game! You'll guide a little flame across a world of pillars. Your flame will teach you about the transfer of heat and thermal energy before you guide him along. You will occasionally land on a special pillar where you need to answer questions related to heat transfer. If you fall, you'll have the chance to answer questions and keep going!

Hidden Energy (Mid)

There are fifteen levels in this game. In each level, you will look for hidden objects in a mess of other objects, but you have a limited amount of time. Once you find the objects, you will get to answer a question. If you answer the question correctly, you will add extra time to the clock while you are searching for the hidden objects.

Activity 4: 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.

The Candy Store- heat as energy transfer

All the candy in the world is at your fingertips in this game! You will operate a candy factory, and you need to make as many sweets as possible. You will produce as many candies as you can by spinning a circular candy cane. The more times you click, the more sweets you earn, as you answer questions about heat and thermal energy correctly.

Study Escape Room: Changing Temperature

In this game, you will try to escape from a room that is almost entirely dark. As you wander around the halls you will encounter information blocks and question gates. Pick up clues from the blocks along the way and answer questions about temperature, thermal energy, and energy exchange. Be patient as you play and try to find your way out of the study room.

Activity 7: 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 8: 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.
