Age Range: 5-17+ (Kindergarten to High School/College)

Eduweb develops online, multi-media learning games and activities for
museums, zoos, universities, and other educational organizations. They
archive the links to these, playful, thought-provoking, award-winning
interactives for science, and a wide variety of other subjects, at their
website. Most of the content is absolutely free.

When you get to the website you'll see a sign-up form to receive email
notifications whenever a new game is available.

Below that is the featured new game, and to the left of your screen is an
icon menu of the "Latest and Greatest" activities they have produced.

Use the menu bar right above the sign-in form to access the learning games
by subject or grade level (K-12). Subjects include: Visual Arts, Performing
Arts, Natural History, History, People & Cultures, Reading Strategies,
Economics, and the following Science categories:

Earth & Space Science - Learn about black holes, living in outer space,
extraterrestrial intelligence, how to engineer a spacecraft, how to build a
bridge in earthquake country, and more.

Engineering & Technology - Command a submarine, design a satellite, take a
virtual tour of a research vessel, learn about microscopy and
nano-visualization, and explore solar energy.

Health & Medicine - Find out about acids and bacteria that cause tooth
decay, experiment to find the healthiest foods and cleaning habits to
maintain a healthy smile.

Many of these compelling and effective learning interactives include role
play simulation. For example, become a member of a wolf pack in Yellowstone
National Park. Explore the wilderness, hunt elk, find a mate, raise pups,
and ensure the survival of your pack. As explained at the site, "The
WolfQuest experience goes beyond the game with an active online community
where you can discuss the game with other players, chat with wolf
biologists, and share artwork and stories about wolves."

This is really a remarkable learning resource. Bookmark it to return often.
