What was the last game you played? Video game, board game, world
building game? In Game Logic: Level Up and Create Your Own Games
with Science Activities for Kids, middle schoolers take on the
world of games by figuring out what makes them challenging, fun,
and addictive! Kids love games. Board games are still wildly
popular, despite the profusion of video gaming devices that reach
audiences as young as toddlerhood. World-building games such as
Settlers of Catan and Dungeons & Dragons are played by hundreds
of thousands of people worldwide, both online and in living rooms,
and gaming conferences occur around the globe, including hundreds
in the United States alone. This makes gaming a perfect backdrop
for learning new skills! This book takes kids on a journey to
discover the history of games, and then leads them from their
initial idea for a new game through several iterations of a game
all the way to playing the final version of a game they created.
Educators use games as a way to introduce logic, collaboration, and
persistence in classrooms, and Game Logic is the perfect companion.
Kids explore the processes of both playing and creating games while
developing critical and creative thinking skills that apply to
tasks and concepts across academic fields. Game Logic includes
hands-on STEAM activities and critical thinking exercises related
to games. Fun facts, links to online primary sources and other
supplemental material, and essential questions encourage readers to
dive deeper into the games they love to discover what makes them
tick. Nomad Press books integrate content with participation.
Common Core State Standards, the Next Generation Science Standards,
and STEM Education all place project-based learning as key building
blocks in education. Combining content with inquiry-based projects
stimulates learning and makes it active and alive. Nomad's unique
approach simultaneously grounds kids in factual knowledge while
allowing them the space to be curious, creative, and critical
thinkers.
Learning loads of facts is boring, right? Not with this book! Get
your quiz on to become the ultimate expert on outer space. This
book is the ultimate combination of facts and fun. Each chapter has
loads of fast facts followed by a short quiz, which makes it the
perfect tool for revising for a test or for becoming the quizmaster
of the universe. It covers a huge range of topics, from the Sun and
Moon, to early space pioneers and the Moon landings, to black
holes, asteroids and the planets in our magnificent solar system.
These books are designed as a companion resource for children
studying core curriculum topics. Illustrations, timelines and
graphics work with captions and extended texts to challenge the
reader's skills in memory, comprehension and reading. Kids will
barely realise they are learning when the competitive element takes
over as they aim to become the Quizmaster. The books contain loads
of information, but as the quiz sections are spaced evenly
throughout, it can make the challenge less overwhelming. Readers
can choose to read a section and then answer those questions, or
read the book and then attempt the whole quiz in one go. It can be
used to test themselves, test their friends or as a ready-made
resource for teachers in need of a pop-quiz for their class.
Suitable for children aged 8+ who are studying Space as part of the
Key Stage 2 curriculum. Also perfect for space-mad kids who devour
facts like a black hole devours galaxies. Other titles in this
