One of the most
spectacular learning tools we have ever seen! The name of this
extraordinary learning tool is called
Launchball and has been produced by the
Science Museum of London.
Students love this intuitive interactive. Once they get to the site,
have students select "Play the Levels", they don't need a code (they
will for saving their work), then have them do the "Warm Up". This will
teach them all they need to know to explore this incredible virtual
world of electricity, heat, magnetism, forces, motion, and the
conducting power of copper. Just incredible! |

The name of this clever "learning tool" is
called Build Your Bridge.
Designing and building a bridge to withstand earthquakes is no easy
challenge. Explore the science, technology and people involved in the
bridge with these interactive learning modules and simulations! Take on
the challenge facing bridge designers and de sign a bridge that can
withstand a Maximum Seismic Event—then test your bridge to see how it
fares! Produced by NewBayBridge.org |

Spectacular web site called
Making the Modern World
comes to us from the Science Museum. This learning tool brings you
powerful stories about science and invention from the eighteenth century
to today. It explains the development and the global spread of modern
industrial society and its effects on all our lives. The site expands upon
the permanent landmark gallery at the
Science Museum. |
