Description

Selenia is a fun way for students to learn about science concepts through investigations linked to comics.  The comics and investigations focus on science inquiry and materials and their properties.  Downloadable resources are provided with information on learning outcomes, background to support scientific inquiry, scientific principles behind the experiments, guidance on the investigation, and an equipment list.  Each of the investigations is linked to an online comic that poses a problem which the student is invited to solve.  There are six comics with investigations including investigating dissolving, cooling, glue, leaks, air resistance, and hardness.  The site also features online games for students to play including word searches, quizzes, picture Sudoku, and spot the difference (like hidden pictures).   Selenia is the creation of Emma Weitkamp from the Science Communication Unit at the University of the West of England. Dave Smith brought her to life through illustration and Helen Featherstone is the brains behind the games and teacher resources.
