THE GAME

THE GAME is a mystery, rule‑finding game that makes the Nature of Science (NOS) visible. Students observe a board, propose rules, design tests to try to disconfirm their ideas, and refine explanations with evidence and peer critique—just like scientists do. It works well in short bursts, as a launch to NOS, or as an anchor activity you revisit while introducing key tenets.
