"Video Games and Science" The blog is about how some video games are having kids use science in them. Some guy named Dr. Steinkuehler did research on the subject and found it to be true. Some kids that play a game called Lineage are using hypothesis and other science terms to help out in this game. They say things like "the water lord is susceptible to fire spells". this are things kids use in video games to help them in a a problem.
I think that this is very interesting that kids are using science terms to help them in there daily life. I play video games and have never noticed that you use scientific thinking in the process of figuring things out. Personally this seems to me as if this could be a learning game if you use science in the game. I cant belive that kids also would use mathematical problems and excel spread sheets to help in the game. Some kids that I know to be video game addicts would never do things as hardcore as this. This brings a new meaning to video games to me if kids are using these things to help in video games.
