Grades 5-12, with parental supervision
This website offers free, colorful, and engaging educational animations designed for teachers and students that explain how things work in STEM careers. EdHeads is a non-profit organization that raises money to produce the animations through the ads you’ll see on the site. The ads are randomly generated, so AS ALWAYS, parents should preview and supervise use of the site.
When you get to the website, you’ll see the list of games. The 5 games that do not require membership are:
- Nano Start Up
- Manufacturing Technician
- Manufacturing Quiz
- Simple Machines
Each animation is narrated (so turn on your speakers) and includes a Glossary of Terms as well as more information regarding careers in each area.
Some of the activities and animations provide links to recommended sources for further learning as well. We have not reviewed those links.
