Despite the limited availability of digital educational games, there has been a rising trend in their development and utilization since around mid-2010, which has attracted the attention of researchers [2]. Within educational contexts, the term “gamification” is employed to describe the integration of game elements to modify conventional pedagogy.

1. Introduction The present research addresses the use of simulations in science learning by elementary school students. Educational researchers call us to use simulations in science teaching and learning in elementary school as this tool would enable students to generate and test their own conjectures of the relations in a particular scientific phenomenon [1]. In addition, educational researchers report that simulation can support elementary school students in their science learning [2,3].
