ThermodynamicsABSTRACTStagnating growth in our educational systems has piqued interests in alternative teachingmethods such as the inclusion of “serious games” into curricula. In response to those needs, aseries of educational games have been developed in accordance with pre-engineeringprograms such as Project Lead the Way (PLTW). The focus of development is in creating anengaging, educational environment by balancing fun and learning whilst meeting the standardsof commercial-level games and engineering and science curricula. This paper, in particular,presents the design and pedagogical methods, and the implementation of those methods, in athermodynamics serious game, Solaris One, that accommodates the integration of gamemechanics with learning.

Two-thirds of the girlswere from local public, comprehensive high schools, while the other third attended independentschools in the area. The curriculum was based in both service learning and engineering designwithin a global context. The Lwala Community Alliance of Kenya "hired" the participants towork on two projects. The rising 9th and 10th graders designed a fish pond to enable the Lwalaresidents raise fish to use as a commodity.

The two researchers will then independently score all responses again. This process will be repeated until their scores agree more than 80% of the time. Test-retest reliability will be determined by administering both versions of the VCD to approximately 20 pre-service teachers who are not involved in the project. Reliability will be achieved when there is greater than 80% agreement, on average, in the performance of individual teachers across the two versions
