Activity 1: Question Game. Estimated duration: 15 min

Newton Pool

The game consists of hand-crafted levels where the player controls a white ball. The goal of each level is to get the white ball to the end of the level in as few moves as possible, while racking up points by bumping golden balls into obstacles on the way! The game does not have any instructional math content, it simply has math review questions spread throughout.

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.

Gravity and the Birth of our Solar System

The nebular theory explains how our Solar System formed from a giant cloud of dust and gas approximately 4.5 billion years ago. Gravity played a crucial role in this process, pulling particles together to form larger clumps. The densest part of the cloud ignited nuclear fusion, creating the Sun, while the remaining material coalesced into planets, moons, asteroids, and comets. The gravitational force between the Sun and these objects dictates their orbits. This cosmic tale underscores gravity's importance and ties into the Big Bang theory, which describes the universe's expansion from a massive explosion. The story of our Solar System highlights the wonders of the universe and invites continuous exploration and discovery.

Activity 16: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 13 min

Gravity and the Birth of Our Solar System

In this game, you will go on a time travel journey from the formation of our solar system all the way into the distant future up until death of our sun. You will learn how the solar system began to form, how the sun and the planets formed, and how the sun will eventually die. Along the way, you will play mini-games to simulate different stages of the process.
