So I was going through my homeschool folder on my PC and located a page I had forgotten all about bookmarking. My son spent all day yesterday doing these fantastic science simulations and playing a space simulation game. I finally had to kick him off my PC at 7pm for dinner!
They were made by University of Colorado Boulder.


If you have kids who like to play video games then they will probably get a kick out of these interactive science lessons. And you can tie them into whatever you are learning about in Science.

Phet Interactive Simulations

Today was Monday Math Day. Recently we surprised our son with a tablet of his own. OH JOY OF JOYS, he now has something to play Plants vs Zombies on...instead of my phone!

The tablet is mostly used for educational purposes, so today he enjoyed a great game called 'Math vs Zombies', where you must solve math problems correctly and in a timely manner in order to turn the zombies back into normal kids. (Don't fret mamas, this isn't gorey at all.)



After a few levels of Math vs Zombies we went on to counting money using another great app called 'Freefall Money - Coin Math' where upon after each level completed they can choose a prize to add to their virtual aquarium. I had no idea this was part of it at first, but we were rather excited about it since we are coral reef keepers here in our household.

  

He had so much fun with this one and couldn't wait to finish each level and get prizes for his aquarium.

Let us know what you think of the apps listed!

Well not really...

I don't know about you, but I LOVE sloths. I think they are the most fascinatingly weird creatures, I think they might be aliens. But anyway, I found a free kids Kindle book all about those 2 and 3 toed algae-growing cuties.

Head on over and get it whilst it's still free!
