Simulator on air pollution. Students can adjust the population, industry levels, and wind and temp to see how it affects air quality.

Eduweb is a site that provides simulations/interactives on various topics related to science, social studies/history, art, and more.

"Properties and Changes of Properties in Matter (5-8)" Activities and Simulations

"The MyStocks page is the one-stop place where you can trade stocks with virtual money. The Global Stock Game (GSG) is the world's most realistic stock market simulation, where you can have fun and learn the stock market at no cost. Yes, it is 100% FREE. In addition, it's is easy enough to use even if you know little or nothing about the stock market. Even seasoned investors use this Web site to test their investing strategies before placing real orders in the stock market. "

Algodoo is a 2D-simulation environment for creating interactive scenes in a playful, cartoony manner, making use of the physics that we use to explain our real world. Algodoo is designed to encourage young people's own creativity, ability and motivation to construct knowledge. The synergy of science and art makes Algodoo as educational as it is entertaining. Algodoo applies a constructionistic learning paradigm - learning by designing, constructing and exploring physical systems. Design, interact and explore - It's Physics like never before!

"Interactive 3D Educational Simulation."

Game that simulates international trade. Great info on economics and advantages of trade agreements.

Use Aviary's music creator to simulate dozens of musical instruments including piano, guitars and drums. Create music loops and patterns for use in Aviary's audio editor (Myna) or as ring tones.

Interactive activities that work directly in the browser, broken apart by subject, topic, and grade level. The US history map and the ecology simulator are very good.

"A network of educational, programmable websites and related wikis and blogs, the Globaloria Program prepares young people (13 and older) to use technology, specifically to become makers of interactive games and simulations, for their own personal and professional development and for the social and economic benefit of their communities."

This project was directed by Rita J. King and Joshua Fouts, who work with an extensive network of experts on all aspects of the transformation of education and the future of work. Put these findings into practice The co-directors of this project, Rita J. King and Joshua Fouts, offer consulting sessions for practitioners of the new global culture and economy at all levels. Whether you need to learn how to use Twitter, build a complex simulation environment or create an innovator's community of practice in your classroom, school, district, state, nation or world, we can work with you to achieve that goal. If your group is interested in exploring these subjects or booking consultation sessions, contact us at: info@dancinginkproductions.com

bsorb is a series of interactive online courses for secondary schools, covering physics, chemistry, electronics, mathematics and advanced physics. Our unique simulations, interactive animations, and videos, are linked by an involving narrative, providing the basis for an interactive learning experience. Each title offers a huge amount of interactivity - ranging from simple animations that show hidden concepts, to powerful models that allow flexible experimentation. Each title is well-suited to self-study or review, or provides a framework to teach in front of the whole class on a whiteboard.

Many cultural designs are based on mathematical principles. This software will help students learn standards-based mathematics as they simulate the original artifacts, and develop their own creations.
