A month to be thankful….for new science games in your Legends of Learning assignments! Here are FOUR new science games, plus SIX more that have been updated with better gameplay!
New In Grades 3-5
- These longer winter nights might be giving you more time to look up into the sky and ponder the existence of our universe. Let’s go on an adventure up to the cosmos in Beyond the Galaxy. The universe is just a fun setting to learn about Chemical Reactions. How about that for a crazy field trip idea?
Updates to Existing Games In Grades 3-5
- Welcome to Sol Station (The Universe and Its Stars), a long-time fan favorite, has been upgraded with our latest feature: save and load checkpoints! It also has improved art, animations, and audio.
- Scientific Adventure (Scientific Method) has been improved with various gameplay enhancements and sound quality.
New In Grades 6-8
- Why do you think cats have 9 lives? I heard it’s because they are secretly scientists studying properties of atoms and molecules, and their experiments can get dangerous. Regardless if that’s true, join some feline friends in Purrfect Potions and become an expert in hairballs, err I mean gases and liquids!
- Let’s discuss all states of matter and their structure in the Molecular World. Here, everything is made of molecules, but everything is a puzzle too! Make sure you retain all your molecules as you navigate each puzzle.
- Let’s break from the physical sciences, but stay at the molecular level and explore the intricate world of genes and traits. Dr. Genos’s DNA World: Learn Genes and Traits will be the right adventure your class needs to engage with the relationship between genes and traits, and even discover the effect of mutations to genes.
Updates to Existing Games In Grades 6-8
- Tiny Ecosystem (Food Webs in an Ecosystem) has fixed a web-error commonly experienced on Chromebooks, and has also been improved with various content and gameplay enhancements.
- Microlives (Cells and Life) has added newer animations for students to better visualize the components of cells.
- Water Dog (The Water Cycle) is now a better experience for students, simplifying some levels whose puzzles were too difficult, and adding 30 seconds to the timer for each level.
- Scientific Alliance (Scientific Method) has been improved with various gameplay enhancements and sound quality.
