Science Learning Through Games
TYTO ONLINE:
BACKGROUND
Tyto Online is a web-based, 3D immersive educational video game designed primarily for middle school students typically aged 11-14 years old to learn science (initially life and earth science).
Designed to cater to a variety of learning styles by incoperating:
Visual Learners - 3D environment, animations, visual representationsAuditory Learners - In-game dialogues, explanations, audio cuesKinesthetic Learners- Interactive Simulations, Virtual Experiments, Hands-on Activites

THE TARGET GROUP
Middle School Students' Existing Knowledge (e.g.: Sneezing):
Sneezing as a bodily functionCommon triggersReflexive actions

The Level of Achievement They Will Attain About Sneezing:
Describe the sneezing reflexIdentify the key components of the respiratory system involvedExplain the role of sneezing in disease transmission

THE PURPOSE
Abstract Nature Concept: Difficult for the students to grasp without concrete experiences and visualizations
Laveraging Technology for Learning: Digital technologies and game-based learning can be more effective & engaging
Limited Opportunities for Hands-on Learning: Experiments & investigations can be challenging due to resource constrains / logistical issues
