Activity 3: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min
States of Matter: Basics - Phase Changes
Heat, cool, and compress atoms and molecules and watch as they change between solid, liquid and gas phases. Pump more atoms and molecules into the system or change the temperature or volume of a container, and see a pressure-temperature diagram respond in real time. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Activity 4: 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.

Lift the Ship
In this game, students will manipulate water evaporating, condensing, and freezing it to see it in solid, liquid, and gas states. They will be regularly reminded that the original mass and volume stays the same throughout these changes. The simulation is a great alternative to organizing lab work!

Freeze
Freeze provides a great introduction to the properties of water, how it changes states when heated or cooled, and that its mass stays the same in all states. Students will enjoy the challenge of moving the frozen water character through obstacles that will heat and cool it during the game.
