Math and Science Simulations from the University of Colorado. Can change various parameters to create simulation; can also create different graphs associated with the simulation. Appropriate for middle school and high school.

Science simulation software that contains everything you would find in a chemistry lab...raw elements, chemicals, equipment. You drag the items onto a work area to teach and/or create simulations such as chemical reactions...chemistry, electricity, math, computing, would be awesome on the SB.

Great interactive weather simulations.

A visual real-time simulation that displays the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, birth rates, and death rates of every country in the world. Great for SMARTBoard

Experience what it's like to have a learning disability. PBS website contains great information and simulations of various kinds of learning disabilities.

Natural disaster simulation game.

This is a very educational volcano simulation. After learning about the three main types of volcanoes, choose the viscosity and gas settings and make a volcano erupt. The visual and auditory effects are great! The site tells you what kind of volcano and explosion your settings have created.

Incredible collection of flash to teach middle and high school math. The flash is interactive, allowing you to change a variable such as the value of an exponent and then see how that changes the value in an equation. For example, kids can experiment by altering the value of exponents to learn why we keep the base and add exponents when we're multiplying two powers with the same base. Jim teaches in Alberta.

This site specializes in downloadable flash files for use in teaching science on the smartboard.
