Science Snoops - The Monarch Case
Science Snoops - The Space Case
In Science Snoops, students engage in inquiries of life science phenomena. This software provides students with an opportunity to practice science investigation skills and competencies within a simulated workplace environment. They play the role of new researchers as they are guided through learning tasks, and they work to solve each life science mystery case as part of a team of real and virtual scientists. Each virtual co-worker is portrayed by an actor who interacts with the student to give information, assign work, and give feedback on students’ performance. Students complete 20-30 tasks of varying kinds and difficulty levels to solve a case.
