" think it's pretty safe to say that almost everyone on the Internet these days has heard of Wolfram|Alpha, the "computational knowledge engine". It's a pretty fascinating, not to mention handy, website. You simply type in your query, "population of Argentina in 1980" for example, and Wolfram|Alpha spits out the answer. What could be more awesome?! Well, what if I told you that Wolfram|Alpha also makes desktop PC and mobile applications that, for all of the notoriety that their's websites received, I've hardly ever heard anyone talk about? And what if I told you that most of these apps were specifically designed with certain subjects in mind, such as statistics, geography, and chemistry? I don't know about you, but I'd be intrigued!"

Science is a great way to satisfy this thirst for knowledge, but it has to be presented in a fun and easy to understand format. Games are undoubtedly one of the best mediums to do just that. The best online science games are engaging, educational and provide ongoing learning opportunities. The six that I have chosen for you today all meet, or exceed, this criteria and can be used with kids both young and old."

Good to add to your weebly.

As one of the top free educational games sites on the web, you would probably expect Sheppard Software to have a strong representation here. Logic games, word games, puzzle games, and strategy games are just some of the great brain training tools on offer here. They activities themselves may not be quite as slick as some of the sites on here, but the skills involved will test young minds as much as anything else out there. Castle Defense is a perennial favorite, but Maze Race and Bouncing Balls are also worth a mention. The only drawback with these games is that they tend to be a little short and only offer one level. However, sometimes that is a good thing too, especially with younger learners. Read more: http://www.brighthub.com/education/k-12/articles/106947.aspx?p=2#ixzz1EGadkx23
