Learning Through Games
Learning does not, and should not, be boring. How many of you love to play video games or participate in the virtual world? Games for Science combines your passion for online gaming with science so that you can learn while navigating through space, acting as cellular organelles, or joining a team of park wardens.
This is a fun and safe learning environment where users can join the community and chat with friends while exploring scientific concepts. Check it out! Games For Science
Science museums offer a wide variety of hands-on activities, but sometimes transportation or financial limitations can prevent us from visiting a museum. Whatever museum you would like to go to, whether its for art, science, history, or other topics, check out their website first. Many of them offer virtual tours where you can explore the museum online without having to drive or pay the entrance fee. The Ontario Science Centre offers this online opportunity where you can explore the world of science through interactive videos, images, and games.
P.S. They also offer student resources for science fair information or science awards, always worth the time to check it out!
Calling all teens! Whether you're a science enthusiast or you think science is a bore, 'Let's Talk Science' is the site for you! It provides a wide activity database for experiments you can try at home (trust me, these are very cool), interactive learning activities, and a science challenge. You can even convince your teacher to ask the organization to come in for a day of experiments and activities. Always nice to spice up our schedule :)
