Scientific Methods
Scientific
methods are the techniques and tools scientists use to learn about the
world! Learn about questions, hypotheses, variables, theories, laws
and much more by playing video games and performing virtual investigations!
Scientific Methods Video Games, Virtual Labs & Activities
Inky the Squid and the Treasures of the Scientific Method (New Version)
Squirt
ink to freeze other sea creatures while you collect shiny treasure pearls
and messages from the world above! All the while learn about the scientific
method! Ahoy! Please note: this is a new version that automatically saves your progress and allows you to choose your levels (and re-do them if you need specific review of a topic). If you need the old version because you saved a game with it, you can find it if you scroll down.
Malaria Interactive
Come
up with a plan to reduce malaria (a deadly disease) in a region, and defend
it using the data you collect in this collaborative simulation activity.
Evaluate cost, effectiveness, environmental impact, effects on non-target
organisms, and health effects to determine the best course of action. This
interactive has a worksheet that goes with it. Great for critical
thinking!
Bacteria Growth Virtual Lab Simulation
Design
and perform your own experiment testing bacterial growth under conditions
that you choose! This simulation is great practice in experimental
design, controlling variables, data collection, and more!
Inky the Squid and the Treasures of the Scientific Method (Original Version)
