Peak Probe
What students practice
Students practice facts about the world's mountain ranges and tallest peaks, plus mountain vocabulary such as summit, glacier, and plateau.
How to play
A question appears above four camps on a mountainside; players use the arrow keys (or W and S) to fly a probe, press Space to drill, or press 1 through 4 to fly straight to a camp. A storm swallows camps from the top, so letting it reach the right answer costs one of three shields, and a miss shows the answer before it is asked again.
Teacher Setup
Teacher Setup lets a teacher choose question sets for mountain ranges by continent, the tallest peaks and their locations, or mountain vocabulary, set the speed, and choose whether a miss reveals the answer. A printable student report lists skills to practice.
