Contracting and Water Damage Games

1 game

In this series of games, your students will learn how to properly mitigate water damages during a residential construction project.  These lessons can also be helpful to everyday life around the home.  The games were built in partnership with NEXT Insurance, one of the largest insurance providers to small businesses in the United States.

These games are part of the Legends of Learning Career and Technical Education suite, which will be expanding over the next several months.

Concepts Covered

Water damage losses are one of the most common loss causes for commercial liability policies and the losses from even small accidents can routinely exceed $100,000, delay construction projects, significantly impact project profitability, and negatively affect customer satisfaction and referrals.

By understanding the common causes of water damage and the different types of water that can cause damage, you can learn how to properly build a water damage risk mitigation plan.

With a proper understanding of water damage and a risk mitigation plan in place, you’ll be ready for the on-the-job surprises you encounter and can build your project free of mistakes. Learning these critical skills is necessary to thriving in the construction industry.

Can you succeed in minimizing damage and finishing the projects on time and on budget?

Image for Wave Interference - Waves
Wave Interference - Waves Estimated Duration: 10 minutes 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.
Image for Wave Interference - Interference
Wave Interference - Interference Estimated Duration: 10 minutes 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.
Image for Wave Interference - Slits
Wave Interference - Slits Estimated Duration: 10 minutes 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.
Image for Basketball Master
Basketball Master Estimated Duration: 12 minutes Shoot a basketball through the hoop and answer some questions along the way! The game does not have any instructional content, it simply has review questions spread throughout.
Image for Waves Intro - Sound
Waves Intro - Sound Estimated Duration: 10 minutes 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.
Image for Robot Chef
Robot Chef Estimated Duration: 18 minutes Congratulations, you are creating the first all-robot restaurant in the city! As you serve more customers, you will be able to build more robots to assist in delivering tasty treats. Attend Night School and answer questions to earn advanced robot chefs!
Image for Wavebot
Wavebot Estimated Duration: 16 minutes Join Dr. Camila and Wavebot as they discover the effects of waves on their environment. Play through all 8 levels of this puzzle and compete for the high score!
Image for Earthquake!
Earthquake! Estimated Duration: 20 minutes How good are you at predictions? Can you figure out when—and how powerfully—an earthquake will hit Square City? Triangulation is the key!
