This seems to be a more engaging graphical way to show the different cells and how they divide and get rid of dead cells. Mostly information presentation not very interactive.

this website has simple, but fun games. Also, it has resources for teachers and you can save them to your Diigo account and print them out later(puzzles, word finds, charts, etc....).

It's free - but have not had time to investigate. So much to do - so little time!!! I know you know that feeling.

Most games are a competition....

THE COLONY is an experiment that simulates a post-apocalyptic world in which volunteers are tasked with surviving and rebuilding everything from scratch, using only raw ingenuity and supplies they scavenge from their environment. Here's your destination to learn more about these bold experiments into a dark future that holds the promise of hopeful regeneration. At top of page click on colony central or go to: http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/colony/colony-central/ for VIRTUAL GAME. haven't had time to play but love show and will play soon.

This is a free simulation game for 12+ where learners are able to virtually "live" the lives of someone across the globe. They make choices and face circumstances faced by people in those parts of the world, choice available jobs, battle diseases, navigate unstable political terrain. The program is based on all current data from the United Nations, World Health Organization, and other international aid organizations and links with Google maps as well. This game would be useful for middle school or high school world cultures or politics courses, and also in different enrichment or afterschool activities. From the website:"Experience life as a: * Peasant farmer in Bangladesh * Factory worker in Brazil * Policeman in Nigeria * Lawyer in the United States * Computer operator in Poland or any of thousands more ... Through statistically accurate events, Real Lives brings to life different cultures, political systems, economic opportunities, personal decisions, health issues, family issues, schooling, jobs, religions, geography, war, peace, and more. As your students make decisions for their characters and experience the consequences of those decisions they will learn about the world and gain an increased appreciation of their own culture and the cultures of other peoples."
