Activity 4: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

Balloons and Static Electricity

Ever wonder why a balloon sticks to your sweater or a wall? Explore the charges in the sweater, balloons, and the wall as you investigate static electricity. Describe and raw models for common static electricity concepts including charge transfer, attraction, and repulsion. Show or hide the charges, and make predictions about behavior of the balloon. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Activity 5: Question Game. Estimated duration: 13 min

Magnetic Getaway

Help the magnet escape from the knights! To do this, you need to collect knowledge, keys, and coins to unlock the doors that holds you hostage. You will learn about electromagnetic forces and magnets before you enter your maze. In the maze, your first step is to find batteries for your flashlight so that you can see!

Activity 6: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 9 min

Static Man

In this game, you will use your knowledge of static electricity and magnetic forces to allow Conductive Man travel through the levels. You will help him to find keys to open gates that let him exit each level through a green gate. If the key seems unreachable, you will take advantage of your knowledge of opposite and repulsive charges in order to access the key.
