Activity 1: Question Game. Estimated duration: 20 min

Galaxy Escape

10 Bright Monsters have been captured in space and they need your help to cross the galaxy jumping between platforms, finding them, and releasing them by correctly answering each question. Each monster that you release and unlock will be available to play with in the next level, in the search for the next monster. In your journey, you’ll be able to find power-ups, like ‘Double points’ and ‘Slow down’, which can be activated by finding gems, and their duration can be extended by correctly answering a question. Unlock and release the 10 different monsters and a spaceship along 10 different levels, while you make the most possible points.

Activity 3: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

Waves Intro - Light

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 4: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

Wave Interference - Interference

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 7: Question Game. Estimated duration: 15 min

Sound Victory (Elem)

Get ready to go to battle! After learning information about sound waves, you will control your spaceship to do battle and destroy the obstacles that come your way and threaten the universe. You must answer questions to earn bonus points and get more flying time in your space ship. Your understanding of sound waves and how they travel through different media will help you master each level.

Activity 8: Question Game. Estimated duration: 13 min

Let's Do the Wave (Elem)

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.
