How the activity is played

As the airplane flies forward, a question is displayed at the bottom of the screen, and several clouds with different answers appear ahead.

The Interaction: The user steers the airplane up, down, left, or right to "crash" into the cloud containing the correct answer.
The Challenge: You must avoid the incorrect answer clouds! Hitting the wrong one will cost you a life.
The Mechanics: Each correct hit earns points and moves you to the next question.
The Result: On the final screen, students can review their flight path, check their accuracy, and post their score to the Leader board.
