Today's activity was to explore interactive websites. The ones we were given were edutaining but I busted out and found some not so edu- but very -taining ones. Teehee!


http://nanozone.org/

Well executed and brightly colored website apparently designed for kids. I’m not sure exactly what I did other than click where it told me to, so I’m not sure I learned much. I did the Mystery of the Green Milk activity. The cow was talking while other things were going on so I missed some of the explanation of the activity.

What a selection of activities! Some aren't interactive other than printing out an activity sheet or pattern to cut out.

Right when I was surprised that I didn’t need any plug-ins, I needed one…and couldn’t get it. So now I don’t know what Foss’ Human Body does. Oh well. I couldn’t get the car comparison to actually compare my two cars. I made them, but it wouldn’t race them. Pbbth.

I knew a lot about bats! But the whale songs were a lot harder to figure out.

Those are the only two I played with extensively. Perhaps in my extensive free time I'll play with a few more.


Other interactive websites I found:

Convert non-believers! Show them The Way of Pastafarianism!

Just plain wrong…but in a good way.
