Great Web Sites and Apps For Students
Discover Water
By Project Wet
Go to: http://www.discoverwater.org
Hands down, this is my favorite online, free series of interactive games for students on the role of water in our lives. The site itself is designed for elementary students. On the homepage there is a game spinner, where the student "spins" the wheel to land on one of eight games about the role of water in our lives. The student may also go directly to the game. The eight games on water include: Blue Planet, The Water Cycle, Discover Our Ocean, Investigate Fresh Water, Explore Watersheds, Use Water Wisely We All Use Water, and Healthy Water, Healthy People.
