42 minActivity 1: 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.

Activity 3: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min
Make waves with a dripping faucet, speaker, or laser. 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 4: 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.
