Video games can be used with some help from kids to understand more. Angry Birds tests a lot of physics knowledge, I think. You're actually learning a skill set, but you're doing it while creating or playing this game. We need to create big exhibitions that make us continue to be curious about the world around us. The Scientist in the Crib by Alison Gottmick covers all this research.
How do our brains learn? On this episode, Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-hosts Chuck Nice and Dave Bakker learn about learning at the Pocketlab Science Is Cool Virtual Unconference with neuroscientist Heather Berlin, PhD.
