Activity 1: 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 5: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 12 min

Temperature, Thermal Energy and Particle Motion

This game is a simulation of how temperature is related to particle motion and thermal energy. It is a step by step explanation of the role of heating sources, thermometers, and kinetic energy involved in particle motion. You will have to complete basic tasks such as adding heat, reading a thermometer, and sorting cups based on temperature. Complete all stages of the game to win!
