This new game from Webb Telescope shows how telescopes work. If you have a bit of time – then give it a go…
Visit this page »The Webb Telescope may be unusual in appearance – but it has a lot in common with simple tube-shaped telescopes. Play the “Scope It Out!” game to find out more!
Scope It Out! includes an introduction to telescopes and two matching games. Be sure to pay attention as you go – the information contained in each level will help you solve the puzzles in the next round.
This game requires FLASH 8 or higher. Also, the game will open in a separate window. Please allow it to open. The game is in two sizes – 1024×768 and 800×600. Please choose the smaller version if you have a smaller monitor. Also, we have provided a small toggle button in the lower left corner of the game to allow you to change the quality of the graphics. If you have a slower computer, this may be helpful.
