SMART Boards and Interactive Science and Engineering for Kids

Engineering Interact is a fantastic resource created by the University of Cambridge Department of Engineering.

 

Here's the description from their website:

Engineering Interact is a new and exciting free educational resource for primary school children aged 9 to 11. The resource provides fully interactive, engaging game environments and high-quality learning material tailored to the National Curriculum. Information about real world applications and cutting edge research motivates children and introduces them to the exciting subject of engineering.

The site contains interactive learning activities covering: light, sound, forces and motion, earth and beyond, and electricity.

Each area is broken down into multiple modules and each module contains an interactive learning activity, an interactive review activity, and a slide-show containing information about how the science is applied in the real world.

Teachers should check out the Teacher Information page that will help them utilize the resources more effectively.

This is one of those sites that really makes learning and teaching science a lot more fun and exciting, especially if you have an SMART Board in your classroom. Pass the word!
