The introduction of games and technology into the classroom provides many unique experiences for children that enhance subject area knowledge. There are many subject areas that can be gamified; however, games can be particularly helpful when teaching students science-based lessons. In particular, games offer children and young adults a hands-on approach to course content which provides additional motivation for students to learn and understand the curriculum. Gamification is the process of adapting elements of game-play to other activities, like learning a new concept, to foster engagement with that activity.
