Click on any one and a new page opens. Wait for the course to load, and it will begin automatically. The course is presented in a colorful animation with music, sound effects, and narration (so be sure to turn on your speakers). Depending on the topic, you may be instructed to click on next arrows, answer questions, and do various drop-and-drag activities to enhance learning.
Once you are through exploring the Health and Life Skills courses, scroll up the page to the Science section for a few more games about plants, animals, natural resources, and fossils.
Then, scroll all the way to the top of the page to see the offerings for math, language arts, and keyboarding. Or, optionally, you can start with the menu on the homepage.
As with all science and health topics, parents should preview the site to determine suitability of content.
