Do your students need help to understand the scientific method? How can we help them understand what makes for good scientific evidence and what doesn’t? How can we help student understand scientific validity? How might we help our students to think more like scientists? This game is here to help! Students get points for selecting the most valid method for a provided hypothesis. Each hypothesis is based on real scientific study or a published scientific journal article. Articles were found based on biology and ecology topics that a group of high school students identified as areas they are interested in. Student reviews “It helped me see what a good method looks like and the type of words that are used.” “It helps to learn the appropriate language to use in these sorts of scientific works and how to measure how valid/reliable a method is.” Why play this game? It’s fun! Develop knowledge of scientific techniques. Promote discussion between students about scientific ideas including: * Discuss ethical issue in science * Discuss reliability and validity Develop scientific literacy. Introduce students to current scientific work. Provide different levels of challenge with the same resource. Improve scientific investigation skills.
