Science Pirates: The Curse of Captain Brownbeard (developed by the USDA/NMSU) is a multi-part game that can be played in or outside of the classroom to help Grades 5-8 students better understand science and food safety concepts. The game addresses both national science process standards and educational objectives through engaging gameplay. It is a great way to introduce experimental design to students.
