Concepts Covered

Moving objects contain energy. The energy of motion is a kind of mechanical energy. Motion is the change in the position of an object. The energy of motion is called kinetic energy. The energy transmitted by mechanical processes, light, sound, and electrical current can be used in many common applications.

Energy can be moved from place to place by moving objects. Energy can be moved from place to place by sound. Sound transmits energy through vibrations in materials. Energy can be moved from place to place by light. Light transmits energy through electromagnetic waves. Energy can be moved from place to place by electric currents. Electrical current transmits energy through moving electric charges. Waves transmit energy from one location to another, but they do not transmit matter.

Energy Forms and Changes - Systems Estimated Duration: 10 minutes Build your own system, with energy sources, changers, and users. Track and visualize how energy flows and changes through your system. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Circuit Construction Kit: DC - Intro Estimated Duration: 10 minutes Experiment with an electronics kit! Build circuits with batteries, resistors, light bulbs, and switches. Take measurements with an ammeter and voltmeter, and test common objects to determine if they are conductors or insulators. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Mighty Aries and the Movement of Energy Estimated Duration: 15 minutes Help the mighty Aries bring light into the world by learning about the movement of energy.

Forms of Energy Movement Estimated Duration: 3 minutes Do you like to run? Can you run really fast? I have run in quite a few races before and they are so fun! When you run, you contain energy! Did you know that energy can move too? Let’s talk about that.

Magical Forest Deluxe Estimated Duration: 15 minutes Find yourself in a magical forest full of treasures and adventures. Collect coins and berries, answer questions, earn points! Good luck!

Power Converter Estimated Duration: 12 minutes Did you know that energy can be moved from a form to another? Let's build underground labs to learn about forms of energy movement in this fun puzzle game.

Galaxy Escape Estimated Duration: 20 minutes 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.
