Educational games, in my opinion, should rouse
curiosity, and foster discovery by
exploration. Unfortunately, most of the
educational games are just gamified
worksheets, which I like to call chocolate
coating the broccoli and despise them
almost as much as regular worksheets.
But games like
TestTube
games are different. Rather than spoon feeding
information it lets the player stumble upon
nuggets of discovery, a truly delightful way
of learning! Play games on a variety of topics
such as
electromagnetic fields,
particle physics,
gravity,
forces and more.
