Strange Matter
See on Scoop.it – KB…Konnected’s Kaleidoscope of Wonderful Websites!
Play and learn online with the Strange Matter of Materials Science.
KB…Konnected’s insight:
“What’s materials science? You could call it the study of stuff! Just about everything you use every day – the shoes you wear, the dishes you eat from, the CDs you listen to, the bike or skateboard you ride – it’s all made of different kinds of stuff.”
This is a really interesting site geared for kids gr. 5-8. “Strange Matter” features online interactives as well as fun things to do in the classroom.
Downloads and guides included for teachers.
