| Description: | When you get to the website you'll see a brief introduction. Use the menu at the top of the screen to select games by science topic that are described at the website as follows: *Astronomy - Play games dealing with the scientific study of matter in outer space, especially the positions, dimensions, distribution, motion, composition, energy, and evolution of celestial bodies and phenomena. *Biology - Enjoy games about the science of life or living matter in all its forms and phenomena, especially with reference to origin, growth, reproduction, structure, and behavior. *Chemistry - Games on the science that deals with the composition and properties of substances and various elementary forms of matter. *Earth Science - Science games about geography, geology, or meteorology, that deal with the earth, its composition, or any of its changing aspects. *Geology - Games explore the dynamics and physical history of the earth, the rocks of which it is composed, and the physical, chemical, and biological changes that the earth has undergone or is undergoing. *Living Environment - Explore the science of life or living matter in all its forms and phenomena, especially with reference to origin, growth, reproduction, structure, and behavior. *Meteorology - Challenge your knowledge of the atmosphere and its phenomena, including weather and climate. *Nature of Science - Play interactives focused on the scientific world view, scientific methods of inquiry, the nature of the scientific enterprise and prologue related materials. *Physics - Science games dealing with matter, energy, motion, and force. This is a Google-Ad supported website, so parents (as always) should preview the site and review it with their children, as the contents of the advertisements randomly change. I found that I had to click through a few screens to open and play many of the games. That's a minor inconvenience. I was surprised to find many of the games quite challenging (or, they were for me). Fortunately, the games provide the correct answers, so you can learn from your mistakes. :) |
