MyPyramid Blast Off Game is an interactive computer game where students can reach "Planet Power" by fueling their rockets with food and physical activity. "Fueling" tanks for each food group helps students keep track of how their choices fit into MyPyramid. Students will create menus for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a snack. They will also have to choose a physical activity. If they get the correct amount of healthy foods in their tanks and the correct amount of physical activity their "blast off" will go smoothly. Otherwise their "blast off" will fail.

The site uses an electronic timeline that serves as backbone for the entire coursework throughout the year. Students post all work to the site. This includes individual and collective research work, a writing component, factual assessments, and an emphasis on presentation, collaboration and discussion. The site places an emphasis on active learning that they hope will strengthen skill development (technology, research, historiography, communication). The end of year the students produce a substantial final project.

This website has many resources and videos for quick and easy to understand segments related to a wide variety of science topics. I believe that clips could be edited and shown in the classroom for certain topics that I believe are better explained in a video segment. They have a section called "tips for teachers" that gives useful resources. If we have the fortunate ability to have computers in the classroom this site would provide many activities for kids to enjoy in groups or individually. I believe it would be fun for the students which would encourage learning.

Art can be inspired from anything, sometimes having art, a story, and music work together is another form of art. The above mentioned website contains games for children in art classes that have good examples for the combination of the formerly mentioned subjects. Some of the games have animation that flows with the background music with it. This shows how art can be used to follow or show music in a visual form. This way students can better understand the relations between the art and music.

I feel like this would be very good to use as a resource in my classroom. As a middle school math teacher, I will be using a lot of algebra in my class. This would be a very helpful site to use as practice or review. Rather than having students bring their books home to complete their homework, they could just log into the site and complete the problems.
