Abstract
Science learning, though bound to broader learning theories, is a research area on its own. Science subject domains share special characteristics: they are like wide nested concept nets - most of which are either abstract or not available to direct observation. For this reason the authors advocate that game-based and simulation-based pedagogies are promising tools for learning. Recently the authors have noticed two characteristics that would further empower the use of these strategies: (1) the widespread use of mobile technology among youngsters with continuous increase in processing power and internet access, and (2) the strong affordances games could provide in learning activities.
