Science Pirates Review This game was fun and you did learn a little but most of the stuff I already knew and I got through the game with ease. I say this game should be put for lower grades. It was fun and I enjoyed it but I think the game would have been more fun if I did not know any of this stuff already. I would suggest that this game enter the school curriculum because it shows step by step on how to perform an experiment. It told me that deductive reasoning can tell me which object or in this case weapon would destroy the sea monster. I really enjoyed playing this game.
One thing I did not know was what agar was. “It is a jelly like substance in a dish.” Agar is used to multiply bacteria. It acts as food for the bacteria and it lets the bacteria grow and multiply. When it multiplies it will be far easier to see.
One other thing I was not completely sure on was the scientific method. I was not sure what step goes first. I did not know the difference between a hypothesis (intelligent guess) and a fact.
Like I already said before the game covers all the basics. How to test a experiment, how to make an intelligent guess, and how to make a experiment chart. This game helps a lot and it should be played in all science classes in Canada.

I really enjoyed reading your review, but I believe that the game should be played by all because it refreshes the mind on the basics and it is tons of fun! :)

I really enjoyed this, somewhat anyways. Although, I do agree with you saying it was meant for lower grades but I have to disagree on how you said that it would have been better if you hadn't known most of the stuff already, but honestly knowing the stuff helped understand most of the words and meanings. Good Job though :)
