My Science Fair Project
By Mikayla Walker
Question
Does gaming help the brain?
Hypothesis
Yes, I believe it helps the brain in education.
Backround Knowledge
There are some video games that are already educational(Puzzle games, Kids Games Math Games,etc.) Scientists have also done tests to already answer this question.
Procedure
Finish a math IXL(X.7). Play a video game for 15 minutes afterwards(different game each time). Finish another math IXL(X.9.) Repeat.
Data
FIRST TEST
First Score:
Second Score(After Playing Minecraft): 34/41 missed 7
SECOND TEST
First Score:50/60 missed 10
Second Score(After Playing FNAF 4):37/43 missed 6
THIRD TEST
First Score:30/32 missed 2
Second Score(After Playing Slither.io):37/42 missed 4
Conclusion
The majority of the games did improve the person's score. So, I assume it depends on what game they play.
