Activity 2: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min
Wave Interference - Waves
Make waves with a dripping faucet, speaker, or laser. Adjust the frequency and amplitude, and observe the changes in the wave. Design experiments to measure wavelength and wave speed. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Activity 3: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min
Wave Interference - Interference
Explore how a pair of wave sources create an interference pattern. Adjust the source frequency and separation, and determine how to change the interference pattern. Identify points of constructive and destructive interference by eye, and by using the detectors. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Activity 4: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min
Wave Interference - Slits
Put up a barrier to see how the waves move through one or two slits, and discover the resulting interference pattern. Determine how to change the pattern by adjusting the slit width and separation. Predict the location of the interference maxima and minima, and verify your predictions. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Game of Light
It's the game of light! Step right up and line up your reflectors and refractors and get the light to the appropriate color receivers. Open up gates to help get to some of the receivers and be prepared for the level that goes invisible. Make sure you track the light you are sending to the receivers too. So much to manage with so little time!

Lumus Journey
This game will help you learn more about light and its properties. You'll befriend a lightbulb who will take you on a journey. This lightbulb will help you discover how: light travels in waves, the different ways light is transmitted, and how light is absorbed or reflected. This game is a fun way to learn about the transmission of light.
