Activity 1: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 24 min

Sonar Sub

In this game, you will use sonar to track marine animals and map treacherous ocean terrain. Between facts about sound waves, you'll encounter whales and dolphins who can help you move on to a quiz section. Show off your wave knowledge and earn bonus points for upgrading your submarine. Be careful, there is dangerous debris in the ocean that can damage your sub!

Activity 3: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

Clebear's Class Waves

Have you ever wondered how submarines can move within the sea? How are phone calls made? How does a microwave work? How can the voice break a glass? How do tremors occur on the surface? You will see all this and more in a fun, practical and interactive way in Professor Clebear's class. Understand the concepts and you will be ready to test your knowledge with simple mini-games that will help you understand how waves work in our daily lives.

Activity 4: Question Game. Estimated duration: 20 min

Galaxy Escape

10 Bright Monsters have been captured in space and they need your help to cross the galaxy jumping between platforms, finding them, and releasing them by correctly answering each question. Each monster that you release and unlock will be available to play with in the next level, in the search for the next monster. In your journey, you’ll be able to find power-ups, like ‘Double points’ and ‘Slow down’, which can be activated by finding gems, and their duration can be extended by correctly answering a question. Unlock and release the 10 different monsters and a spaceship along 10 different levels, while you make the most possible points.

Activity 6: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

Waves Intro - Sound

Make sound waves with a speaker, and hear the tone it produces. 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.
