Activity 3: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min
Wave Interference - Slits
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 4: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min
Waves Intro - Sound
Make sound waves with a speaker, and hear the tone it produces. 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.

Clebear's Class Waves
Have you ever wondered how submarines can move within the sea? How are phone calls made? How does a microwave work? How can the voice break a glass? How do tremors occur on the surface? You will see all this and more in a fun, practical and interactive way in Professor Clebear's class. Understand the concepts and you will be ready to test your knowledge with simple mini-games that will help you understand how waves work in our daily lives.

Let's Do the Wave (Mid)
At the start of this game, you will learn about electromagnetic and mechanical waves. 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.

Waves
Whoa! Look at that wave! There are all types of waves, and in this game, you will use transmitters to control them. You get to channel an electromagnetic wave to a designated area to win. This game is timed, so you will have to think quickly! If you need extra time, you will still have the chance to play but the module will start over.

Agent Amp
You are Agent Amp, a secret agent-in-training. Turn on the spy machine to gather more information about the possible targets. You'll match waves by adjusting the frequency and amplitude and answer questions about the properties of waves. Each successful wave and question will give you a clue. Once you've gathered all the information and found the targets, you'll pass your spy exam and beat the game!
