Quotes
“Students today are very tech-savvy and enjoy games, especially video games, that are competitive. Plasma games allows students to interactively engage in games while learning important concepts in science and gives them a chance to analyze data, make choices in choosing variables, and see the results of these choices in order to build on their knowledge. Laura Barnett, Educator,
Brunswick County, NC
Plasma Games is a great resource in the science classroom. Teaching chemistry and physical science while using Plasma Games to provide variety and reinforcement improves the classroom experience. I have found that students who complete the assigned Plasma Games activities are very successful when completing chemistry and physical science end of year testing. Jim Davis, Science Teacher

I have to say that Plasma Games has been such an amazing program in my classroom. I have seen such a great response from all students who have played the game! My students are more engaged in learning, and Plasma Games has done a great job incorporating key chemistry concepts that the students need to know. The lessons that accompany the game platform are so easy to use! Katie Rouse, High School Science Teacher
