- Abstract:
ToxMystery was created by the United States National Library of Medicine to help children from 7-11 years old learn about household chemical hazards. Toxie the Cat helps kids find the hazards hidden in each room and offers hints when needed. When all the risky spots in the house have been discovered, Toxie dances and celebrates and players can print a personalized certificate of completion. ToxMystery has been usability tested by kids and educators, receiving high grades by all.
ToxMystery is available in English and Spanish. Players can toggle between the languages without losing their place in the game, extending the game to language classes. ToxMystery not only educates young learners but provides parents and teachers with resources on environmental health. Parents can click on the "Parent Resources" or "Para los padres" tabs to find links to U.S. government and non-profit organization Web sites about everyday environmental hazards. The "For Teachers" or "Para maestros" pages contain 3 lesson plans with student worksheets and activities that use ToxMystery to explore common household chemical hazards.
