📖 Your Story

You are a student scientist at the 'Vigyan Jaigrik' (Science Explorer) Lab, a regional science center in Maharashtra. Your mentor has set up various experiment stations for you to investigate - from yeast balloon experiments to composting pits. Each station tests your understanding of microorganisms and their role in everyday phenomena. Complete the experiments and answer questions to earn your Junior Scientist badge!

What You'll Learn

  • Explain how yeast produces carbon dioxide during fermentation and its applications.
  • Describe the role of Rhizobium bacteria in nitrogen fixation for legumes.
  • Investigate factors affecting microbial growth including temperature, air, and moisture.
  • Analyze experimental setups to predict outcomes and explain observations.

How to Play

1Navigate through three experiment stations in order.
2At each station, observe the virtual experiment setup and answer the questions.
3Use the simulation controls to change variables and observe outcomes.
4Collect data points and analyze results to draw scientific conclusions.
