My Project

Students are often intimidated by all of the new content covered in their science classroom. There are new concepts, vocabulary, techniques, and skills needed to be learned. I want to lessen their fears and discomfort of learning science by giving students the opportunity to experience science through games.

Playing games in the classroom results in increased engagement, which in turn deepens student understanding of new material.

Moreover, games help students in the "fail, learn, grow" process that occurs as they learn new things. Failing in a game feels safer than failing a test, for instance. By learning how to play the game, students also learn the the content and grow their understanding of what that content means and how it connects to other things.

Finally, bringing games into my class will give students more opportunities to collaborate. For example, games provide a less intimidating environment for students to work together than a graded group project.

In addition to the actual games, I also would like a prize box and prizes to fill it so that students are motivated to play and reward when they win!
