Build Your Own Space Mission

I’m reblogging my own post today. Done that before and will probably do it again. A few students had brought Magic Pen to my attention asking if I would put it on our school blog. I thought since they liked it so much I should share it again with my readers. Magic Pen is a cool game where students draw shapes (and create simple machines) to get the ball to the flag. #scichat #elemchat #spedchat Great game for the development of problem solving skills. Tutorial included.

Design Squad Nation (another from PBS) is a fantastic site where kids can design their own inventions through drawings they can create on the site. They can also upload pictures or prototypes. Students can also view inventions of others. Really fun and interesting to look at. They also have two neat interactives, Fidgit and String Thing. what’s Fidgit? DESIGNiT, BUILDiT, FIDGiT is an exciting puzzle game where you solve challenges and save tiny creatures called Fidgits! Think fast and manipulate blocks, springs, funnels, and other objects to bring the Fidgits home safely. Features: -Your Fidgits bounce and roll with a real physics engine! -A library of brain-teasing challenges -Make your own custom levels, and share with friends -Unlock new materials: paint buckets, tubes, pendulums, and more! -It’s sandbox-style play with countless combinations what’s String Thing? Make your own music! Customize a virtual string instrument to play a song you write. Choose from three different instrument sounds. Then add a funky beat and play it back. screenshot Students need to create accounts but they just have to come up with a screen name and password…no email address required.

CERNland is a quality science site created by Cern Labs (maker of the  Large Hadron Collider) to share with your students.  No prior knowledge of physics is required for students to enjoy the site.  However they will certainly walk away with some.  The site is available in several languages and  From the site “With a range of games, multimedia applications and films CERNland is the virtual theme park developed to bring the excitement of CERN’s research to a young audience aged between 7 and 12. CERNland is designed to show children what we do at CERN and inspire them with some physics at the same time.         Helpful Hint “Kids do not need any particle-physics expertise to enjoy CERNland but those who click on the information links will be better placed to answer the questions and improve their scores.” I am adding CERNland to my “Science” LiveBinder.
