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.
