An Amazing Site for Science and Math Education

Having a rough day or two or are you not able to get through the lesson or explain it to your child so that she/he can understand it? I've had several of those days lately. However, I did come across an amazing site that has been more than helpful and even better it is all free.

The site is called Khan Academy. I don't know why I always think about Star Trek when I think of this site... but I do. Perhaps because it is a very logical, scientific and useful site and way cool!

Anyways, this site contains a multitude of links to videos. It is organized by subject and the videos load quickly and are of a high quality. The teacher explains the concepts quickly and in an enjoyable manner.

It is a growing open source project on a mission of providing a world class education to anyone or everyone. I admire the creators of this site that want to create a free classroom for the world! Thank you, Khan Academy.

Learning Science with videos and games

I have two websites for you today on the topic of Science. I love science and exploring and discovering new things however, many students find the science textbook explanations hard to follow or boring or just not engaging.

The following two sites try to change that by using age related games and videos to try to make it more interesting.

The first link is for the younger crowd-preschool and elementary age students
BBC Science Clips

The next link is for games that are challenging and information packed on more complex science topics. Perfect for high school age students and older but may also be used with advanced middle school aged children.

Nobel Prize Educational Games

Have a great day playing ...er...I mean...learning science.
