Expert Commentary
“Making science fun is critical for growing and developing the next generation of scientists. Fortunately, games are a way to engage with science outside of the classroom. Depending on the child’s passion, an interactive game or experiment-focused game may be the best fit. If you have toddlers in the area, be mindful of small pieces and swallow safety risks.”
