This paper discusses the results of an experimental study on the implementation of computer-assisted science teaching in an elementary school in Indonesia. With a goal to enhance student learning interests and outcomes, we experimented a science teaching practice using a computer game. To this end, we involved as many as 31 students in our study. Student learning interests were measured using questionnaires. After conducting three experiments, we found that the use of a computer game effectively improved their interests in learning science. In addition, the improvement was made in their learning outcomes.
