Abstract :
In this paper, we use the concept of game-based learning and ubiquitous learning to help science experiment learning in elementary school. After the experiment we found the scores of two groups are almost the same but the behavior and attitude toward the science experiment are quite different. Student who learning in the formal ubiquitous learning environment thinks experiment progress is an extension of learning but experiment set think it is part of game. We discuss these phenomenons happened in the experiment and conclude some issues for future researches.
