Interactive Science Games Online...As Good As Hands-On Experiment
There are many interactive science games online. Such games can also serve as useful tools to teach kids about science.
It is interesting to learn science from science activities and experiments but having interactive online science games can be handy. This is especially so for young kids who may not be appropriate to handle some experiment.
Here are some interactive games on selected science topics that help kids learn without the hassle of doing any experiment.
Electrical Conductors -
Find the best conductors without the risk of blowing anything up or electrocuted.
If you have a kid, like my son who likes to play or experiment around with the flow of electricity, this game is ideal to ensure safety for kids.
Light and Shadows -
Understand why shadows change angle and size throughout the day. If you have a young kid, take the opportunity to teach the child about telling time while showing how the sun casts shadows of objects on the ground.
Parts of a Flower and Life Cycle –
Take the flower apart and learn about the different parts of a flower: how pollination and fertilization take place. I think this is a great game as we can save many flowers in the garden from tearing apart by kids while they learn.
Some science games include story line and it can be very interesting to kids. Mystery with exciting story line attracts kids easily. My kids never get bore trying to save the ant in Archibald's Adventure found in Pest World for Kids. After the game, the kids at least know how to keep pest away and keep our home clean.
Game with ecology theme can also help kids understand how they can play a part in conservation.
