Daily fun interesting facts. I didn’t care for the ads though. I might use the content but not share the link with students. Unique facts to share when you have to fill a minute or two.

Play and learn online with the Strange Matter of Materials Science.

KB…Konnected’s insight:

“What’s materials science? You could call it the study of stuff! Just about everything you use every day - the shoes you wear, the dishes you eat from, the CDs you listen to, the bike or skateboard you ride - it’s all made of different kinds of stuff.”

This is a really interesting site geared for kids gr. 5-8. “Strange Matter” features online interactives as well as fun things to do in the classroom.

Downloads and guides included for teachers.
