Want an engaging way for learners to reinforce and review what you've taught them about states of matter? Well, check this out!

With this game, learners have less than 15 seconds to race against the clock and determine if a word describes a solid, liquid, or gas. Here's the twist: The possible responses start disappearing after time. Incorrect answers lose points and correct answers earn points. Not only that, the faster they answer correctly, the more points they earn.

Curious? Try it! Here's a preview of the functionality of Think Fast games.

Want more? Here's a preview of other learning games.

Basic Features:

• Modeled after questions from previously published standardized tests.
• Single-player game that can be played online or offline. Can also be used for group review in a classroom setting.
• Learners are presented with 10 questions out of a pool of over 150, ensuring it's never the same game twice!
• Learners are acknowledged by the name they entered when launching the game.
• No Prep: Automatic scoring and answer key. Open/send link and go!
• Visual remediation for incorrect responses.
• Replay option: Questions are randomly selected from a pool. Possible answer choices are shuffled. This combination makes it possible to produce a unique quiz with each replay attempt.
• Copyright-friendly audio and images.
• No macros = play on any device.
• TEKS aligned across several grade levels.
• Google account not required!

What to Expect:

You'll receive a zip file that includes a link to the online game and instructions on how to download the game to play offline. This content is not editable.
