Curriculum: Numbers, Number Order, Counting, Addition Think Fast Quiz Take the Crew Chief's Think Fast Quiz and test your knowledge of cars, racing, and some of the fastest things in the world. Use the keyboard to answer the questions. Play this game to win Cyber Points that you can use to buy car parts in the Cyber Race game. Curriculum: Fun Facts, Letters, Vocabulary, Spelling ACTIVITIES CYBER RACE In the NASCAR of the future, the racing action is faster and fiercer than ever!In order to compete in this futuristic cyber race, you'll need the best technology that money can buy. Use the Cyber Points that you earned in the Think Fast Quiz to improve your car in the following areas: · Color ­ change the look of your car by giving it a new paint job. · Engine ­ The type of engine you have determines the duration of your speed boosts and the amount of time it takes for your boost meter to regenerate (for details on speed boosts see below). · Shield ­ Absorbs the impact of a collision so that the car does not take any damage. Every time the car collides, it uses up one unit of the shield's energy. The shield's energy will refill upon purchase. · Wheels ­ Better wheels will allow your car to jump or float on air. Once you're ready to race, the goal is simple: reach the checkpoints within the time limit and make it to the end of the course. In order to do this, you'll have to avoid collisions with opponent cars and obstacles. Every time your car takes a hit, one unit of your life energy (displayed in green in the upper right corner) will be lost. Purchasing a shield adds extra chances to this meter. These extra chances are displayed in yellow. And don't forget to use your speed boosts!This will help your car go faster for a short period of time. To activate a speed boost, touch the boost button on the control panel. The duration of your speed boost depends on how much boost energy you have. The boost energy is displayed underneath the boost button. ACTIVITIES WEB CONNECTIVITY Upload your scores to the internet and see how you compare to other players.
