Mission HydroSci

Mission HydroSci is a game-based 3D virtual environment for supporting student learning related to water systems and scientific argumentation. Scientific argumentation is a central epistemic practice within science and necessary for the kind of science learning envisioned by the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Our poster discusses our progress in year 1 of a funded project to develop a game for middle school science as well as presents critical lessons learned.
