Here you can find some videos with the Games For Learning Science (GFLS) that we have designed to explain or consolidate some Science and Math concepts. Most of them can be modified to work other concepts or other subjects. We also include an explanatory sheet for each game to make a portfolio of activities.
With this game we want our students to understand the disposition of the particles that form the matter in each of its 3 states and how state changes occur at the molecular level. Students will also learn the names of the changes of states and recognize when it is necessary to add heat and when to remove it.
In this game students will learn basic geometry concepts such as the definition, parts and types of angles. They will also practice sums and subtractions of angles and develop spatial orientation.
"The Snake for Mental Maths" is the name our students gave to this mental arithmetic game in which the different teams will try to solve some arithmetic operations in the shortest possible time.
The main goals of the game are:
practise various mathematical operations,
reinforce quick calculation,
develop of logical thinking and
work in group in a cooperative way.
This game has been created to help students understand several important concepts in Chemistry as the atomic structure, the names of the atomic particles and so on. It also can be used to explain ions formations or to study the names of ions and recognize them.
In this game, students will represent an electrical circuit to consolidate their knowledge about the flow of electrons in conductive materials. They will also review the components of a simple electrical circuit with a battery, switches, lamps, etc.
This game will help students from the last years of primary or the first of secondary to recognize the number from different numerical sets written in natural language and translate it in mathematical view.
The aims of this game are solving first degree equations, understanding of the solving process and learning and application of the solving process.
In Computer Science, a classification network is an arbitrary function that allows us to compare and classify numbers in parallel, therefore, at a higher speed. In this GFLS, we will design a structure to compare 4 objects in a designated area. We choose which items we are going to compare: from simple numbers to fractions or even polygon areas, position of the planets, etc.
The main objective of this game is to understand the structure of the atom and differentiate electrons, protons and neutrons. It's also an objective to become familiar with the concepts of mass number and atomic number.
This game can also be used to practice the concepts of prime numbers and composite numbers.
With this GFLS, students will be able to review in a fun way the names, symbols and groups that make up the periodic system of the elements. They will also work cooperatively to be the winning group.
This game has been created to get students differentiate the concepts of volume and capacity, know the units of measure of both magnitudes and how to convert units of volume measurement into capacity units and vice versa.
The objectives of this game are: understand the movement of breathing gases (oxygen, carbon dioxide) in the blood of the human circulatory system and clarify the function of the heart (driving the blood) and the lungs (obtaining the oxygen and releasing the carbon dioxide) in the human circulatory system.
With this game, the youngest students will be able to better understand the movements of rotation and translation of the Earth and with it the succession of day and night and the reason for the existence of the seasons.
Students often find it difficult to solve simple physics problems correctly, and the reason is often that they are wrong with the units of measurement for physical quantities.
With this GFLS, students will be able to practice knowledge of tools and physical measurements, learn the physical measurements of the International System and understand what the instruments measure.
