LEVEL-UP YOUR SCIENCE PROGRAM

Absolutely. Teachers have told us that the hardest part of teaching the science curriculum are not the topics, but teaching science skills. Arludo’s Ingenious program was built to teach working scientifically skills – critical thinking, experimental design, data collection, data interpretation and analytical thinking, and making conclusions. These are the most difficult skills to teach and skills that students will use throughout their lives.

Arludo is the only company that can do this because we focus on helping students understand data by helping them practice exploring data in a comfortable environment. This is why the Arludo program matches the science curriculum for Australia, New Zealand, Canada, UK, US and more.

Absolutely. A homeschool science program requires that students at home are able to run science experiments at home to explore science questions with others no matter where they are. Students should be able to work with others to collect data so that they can visualise and explore those data to make conclusions. This is exactly how the Arludo platform was built – to allow students to anonymously work together to collect data to make scientific conclusions and to learn to think scientifically.

It doesn’t matter if you are learning science at home, playing science games in class, or using the science games to teach a class online, students each get a consistent experience which provides every student an opportunity to excel.

Arludo’s Ingenious program is suited for students from ages 10 to 25. That means that you can use the program to teach students in primary, middle school, high school, and university level science courses.

Although the program for primary, middle school, high school, and university students use the same games, the programs are different because they have different expectations for student language and skill sets suited for their level.

In fact, our founder A/Prof Michael Kasumovic uses the same tool and program to teach his university students! He just expects a little more from them :).

You won’t need any special equipment – we’re not making baking soda volcanoes here! All you’ll need is what you normally use to interact with the internet: a computer and some mobile device. The mobile device is necessary to be able to download and use all the Arludo apps and games. The computer is used to work through our digital worksheets – you’ll watch videos and answer questions and see the data you helped collect in all the worksheets.

If you don’t have a computer – that’s okay! You can also use any mobile device – like a phone or tablet – to be able to interact with our digital worksheets as well.

Absolutely not. Each one of our users is completely anonymous to us and we can’t identify them. That means that their provacy is 100% guaranteed.

We think this is really important as real learning requires students to make mistakes, and making mistakes can make students feel vulnerable. That’s why we’ve created a comfortable environment to allow students to learn and not have to work about being identified. That’s the way it should be online.

The ingenious program is perfect for teaching how science works for homeschooling families. Students learning from home will be able to collect data with other students anonymously and have all the collected data appear in the worksheets at home. This means that the science experiments are much more meaningful as homeschooling families will have more data to explore! This also means that you won’t need to survey family members and friends on what their favourite colour is so you can finish that one maths assignment on making graphs.

Our homeschool science experiments make learning about and exploring data easy and intuitive. And they also help your child feel like a scientist. That’s the first big step.
