Scientific Concepts and Gaming

Pages 32-38 | Published online: 09 Jul 2006
 

Abstract

This paper outlines a systems approach to teaching science to non‐specialists and to giving specialists an interdisciplinary view of science. It is concerned with the nature of science in terms of the basic concepts involved and the relationships between them. SCIENCE MAPS is a series of five games which enable the players to explore the generalised approach which is used.

The five games are linked. The Universe is the foundation game on which the remainder are based. The games involve the construction of conceptual models in diagrammatic form. The ideas of energy, structure, life and chance are examined in more detail. The games are probabilistic in nature and may be used on an individual or group basis.
