6th Grade Science Games

Plate Tectonics Lab

Simulate boundary movements and observe volcanic formation in real-time.

Matter Phase Shift

Heat and cool molecules to see how solids, liquids, and gases behave.

Cell Structure Hunt

Navigate inside a plant cell to identify organelles and their functions.

Forces and Motion: Basics

A PhET interactive simulation exploring pushes, pulls, friction, and balanced forces. This is an interactive simulation, not a quiz game.

Can you make the forces balanced? What happens when one side pulls harder?

6th Grade Jeopardy

Review science with Mr. Pipes’ classroom Jeopardy games.

PhET simulation

Build a Molecule

Combine atoms and explore molecules in this PhET simulation.

Challenge: Build water and carbon dioxide. Which elements are in each?

PhET simulation

States of Matter: Basics

Explore particle behavior as substances are heated and cooled.

Challenge: How do particles behave differently in solids, liquids, and gases?

PhET simulation

Energy Skate Park: Basics

Explore potential energy, kinetic energy, and friction with a virtual skater.

Challenge: How does starting height change the skater’s motion?

PhET simulation

Energy Forms and Changes

Build a system and trace how energy transfers and changes form.

Challenge: Can you trace energy from its source to its user?

Cell Explorer

Explore an animal cell and discover what its organelles do in this BioMan game.

Challenge: Which parts help a cell use energy and make proteins?

Predators and Prey

Explore how predator and prey populations affect one another in a simulation.

Challenge: Predict how a drop in prey changes the predator population.

Genetics Activity Collection

Choose from BioMan games and virtual labs about how traits pass from parents to offspring.

Challenge: Find an activity and explain how offspring inherit traits.

Natural Selection

Change conditions in a PhET rabbit population and explore which inherited traits help survival.

Challenge: How does the environment change which traits become more common?
