74 minActivity 1: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min
Make light waves with a laser, and discover what determines the color of light. Adjust the frequency and amplitude, and observe the changes in the wave. Design experiments to measure wavelength and wave speed. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Activity 2: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min
Put up a barrier to see how the waves move through one or two slits, and discover the resulting interference pattern. Determine how to change the pattern by adjusting the slit width and separation. Predict the location of the interference maxima and minima, and verify your predictions. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Activity 3: Question Game. Estimated duration: 15 min
At the start of this game, you will learn about light reflection, transmission, and absorption. After a series of facts, you will race through a tunnel in a spacecraft. You must soar through barriers and collect coins. If you do not navigate around the barriers, you must answer a question correctly to continue. The start of each level gives you a new piece of information.

Activity 4: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 24 min
It's the game of light! Step right up and line up your reflectors and refractors and get the light to the appropriate color receivers. Open up gates to help get to some of the receivers and be prepared for the level that goes invisible. Make sure you track the light you are sending to the receivers too. So much to manage with so little time!

Activity 5: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 9 min
Do you dare to enter the Temple of Light? The crystal in the temple must be displayed in a museum because it is so rare. You are the only one who can retrieve it. Are you up to the challenge? As you search the levels of the temple for the crystal you will learn so much about the properties of light. Search the temple well and you will achieve a high score.

Activity 6: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 6 min
This game will help you learn more about light and its properties. You'll befriend a lightbulb who will take you on a journey. This lightbulb will help you discover how: light travels in waves, the different ways light is transmitted, and how light is absorbed or reflected. This game is a fun way to learn about the transmission of light.
