Student Lesson: Temperature, Thermal Energy, and Particle Motion S8P1.b - Free Games and Simulations

Activity 1: Question Game. Estimated duration: 12 min

A Matter of Escape (Mid)

Your job is to get the Beaker safely through all the levels! Your beaker must travel to collect supplies so that you can open a door. You must collect three batteries so that you can light your flashlight. Once you've lit your flashlight, you will be able to find the key to the door to reach the next level. You'll answer questions about states of matter along the way.

States of Matter and their Structure

You will work through various simulations of lab activities related to the states of matter and particle movement. The lab activities you complete have manipulatives and animations, with each section of content followed by a related multiple-choice question. At the end of the game you will be challenged with a series of sentences that have been broken up into fragments. Correctly order each to complete the game.

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.
