Activity 2: 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 3: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min
Explore how a pair of wave sources create an interference pattern. Adjust the source frequency and separation, and determine how to change the interference pattern. Identify points of constructive and destructive interference by eye, and by using the detectors. 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.

Activity 8: 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.
