Science Circuit Game - Hypermedia3

Hello everyone!

 

             This week I wanted to find another game that could be used to teach content. After searching around, I found a game that can be used to teach science content around circuits. The game is called "Hypermedia3" and is based on a science fiction robot that needs help fixing components of his spaceship.

The game opens with the robot Elvis asking for help with his ship. The player must fix three components of his ship by rewiring specific pieces together to form a circuit. As a player completes each circuit to fix the ship, a comment bubble will pop up where Elvis will explain each component and how the specific type of circuit works when all the correct pieces are added.

Once you complete the three parts of the ship, there is a circuit quiz to check for understanding of the content. It is ten questions and are multiple choice. Once you complete the quiz, any questions that you get wrong, you can click on and the site will take you to the point of the game which explains the correct answer.

As an incentive, once you answered each question correctly, you are allowed to play two different types of games. The first one is a memory card game with matching circuit parts and the second one is a maze game to bring the space ship from one side to another with your mouse, without touching the maze walls.

Overall, I enjoyed playing this game and I think it could be a very useful game for students learning about circuits from the 4th grade to middle school grade levels. Try it for fun and see how much you know about circuits.
