Interactive Online Science

I went onto Splash ABC 'Zoom' Science to see what was on offer, education-wise. I found strongly interactive learning through an interactive online game. I think it is worth the effort to encourage students (upper primary and lower secondary) to give it a go. It could be all done in an hour but I took two. Splash ABC made interactive online learning fun. Throughout the game, I had to find useful items in the space ship/station to use further on in order to 'pass' a particular science challenge.

In a remote learning context (without a 'physically there' hovering teacher to help and encourage), I think a student needs to watch the behind the science videos by selecting "The science" tab before entering the game itself. This visit (usually for teachers) will double as solid learning and will definitely help students to proceed through the game’s steps unassisted (good luck), provided they can read the directions that pop up all the time in the game. Below are a few of the "behind the science" video choices in "The science" visit. The videos cover nine different science topics. Laser: Fire high energy photons. Electromagnetic spectrum: Sorting electromagnetic radiation. Touchscreen: Repair a touchscreen. Prism: Refract light and match frequency. Retina: Restore colour vision. Neurotransmitter: Restore nerve cell signal transmission. Sodium potassium pump: Build up the transmembrane potential. Radio transmitter: Generate a radio wave. Synchrotron: Create an x-ray beam.
