Swim For It
Swim For It This is another game I struggle with for some reason. Not the knowledge part, but the game itself. Knowing that there are kids out there much more game smart than I am, I’m posting this one. It’s a little science review with a swimming pool and a slide. Don’t ask me. Just [...]

Battle for Planet Science This one will take you a while, though it’s rather fascinating. I think it will save your game for you. It’s a superhero game. Really fun, but a little time consuming.

This is an online demonstration of DNA replication. Would work really well if you did this before using the DNA – The Double Helix listed. The Double Helix game moves a little quickly and practicing matching the rungs would be good. Otherwise, its gets a little crazy and the kids get frustrated. DNA Replication
