Experience the thrill of game-based learning with Plasma Games! Transform your classroom with our NSF award-winning video games that teach 6th-12th grade chemistry and physical science standards. Engage and excite your students by incorporating our video games and curricular resources all while exposing your students to STEM career pathways.

This presentation will provide information to attendees about what our Platform provides for your district. It covers both aspects of our platform (our award-winning game-based learning video games and our curricular resources). It explains what game-based learning is and how our games teach high school chemistry and physical science learning standards as well as the middle school physical science standards. In addition, we will discuss the plethora of curricular resources our platform offers for their teachers for all MS Physical Science, HS Chemistry & HS Physical Science classrooms. We also have STEM career focused curricular resources available that help students learn about different STEM careers.
