Engineering Adventures vs Science Games Lab

Messages from the Duo is designed to be used in conjunction with the out-of-school time engineering curriculum Engineering Adventures. Eleven units are available, including: 1. Hop to It: Safe Removal of Invasive Species 2. Bubble Bonanza: Engineering Bubble Wands 3. To the Rescue: Engineering Aid Drop Packages 4. Shake Things Up: Engineering Earthquake Resistant Buildings 5. Go Green: Engineering Recycled Racers 6. Liftoff: Engineering Rockets and Rovers 7. The Sky’s the Limit: Engineering Flying Technologies 8. Music to My Ears: An Acoustical Engineering Challenge 9. A Slippery Slope: Engineering Avalanche Protection Systems 10. Light Up the Night: An Electrical Engineering Challenge 11. In Good Hands: Engineering Space Gloves Educators and kids can use the special QR code scanner in this app to scan the codes in their Engineering Journals and play audio messages from India and Jacob, Engineering Adventures’ “travelling duo.” For more information about how to download or purchase an Educator Guide and Engineering Journal, visit the Engineering Adventures website at engineeringadventures.org.

Learn through play, experimentation, and discovery. Science Games Lab turns famous scientific ideas into playful hands-on mini-games for curious kids. Build a bridge and test if it holds. Split light with prisms. Launch a cannon into orbit. Grow microbes at the right temperature. Test materials like Archimedes. Build creatures with logic rules. Each game is designed around one simple idea: kids learn science best when they can touch, test, fail, adjust, and discover. Inside the lab: • Newton’s Prism Lab - split light, aim colors, and discover optics • Newton’s Orbit Cannon - experiment with launch speed, gravity, and orbit • Galileo’s Bridge Lab - mix materials and test bridge strength • Archimedes’ Material Lab - compare weight, volume, and density • Koch’s Culture Lab - control temperature and observe microbe growth • Boole’s Creature Machine - solve logic rules by building creatures Why parents like it: • Science learning through play • No long lectures or worksheets • Visual, hands-on experiments • Friendly historical scientist characters • Short mini-games made for repeat play • Great for curious kids who love building, testing, and asking “what happens if?” Science Games Lab is made for kids who want to play with big ideas: gravity, light, materials, logic, biology, experiments, and discovery.
