  1. I went on the magnetic website and i thought it was very helpful because it told helped me by telling me how to tell if something is atracted to magnets of how to atractt objects. I really liked it!I found a website on bbc homes called solids and liquids. Cool. It helps.

    1. Well I went on electricity and I thought that it was helpful because it helps you to learn whether or not something is an insulator or not. A website I found was primary games.com/science.php

    2. I had 2 favorites I like the Electricity and Magnet. The Magnet one help me realized that it matters how strong your magnet is and that is matters what kind and the north side and south side are important.The Electricity on help me realized that metal lets electricity through easily and how to make a circt

  2. I went on a electricity website called BBC Homes and the game was called Bitesize Science. It was a fun game it was about electrical conductors the narrator was going into water with electric eels and he needed to find clothing that if he got shocked it would not kill him. I loved that website it will help alot.

  3. I played the electricity game it was very fun and it taught me a little more on electricity. I also liked the part where you had to build a circut with wire a light bulb and the key. It was also very fun where you had to test out all the outfits to see which one was a conducter. At the end you pick out a outfit that would be a good insulator and after that you go to the water and learn stuff on eels.

    1. I played the electricity game it was interesting and it taught me more about insulators and conductors I liked the part when you had to build a circuit and test the materials to find out wich ones were insulators and conductors then I got to pick the best insulator for the man to wear in the water and not get shocked

    2. I also liked the electricity game because it teaches us what an insulator and a conductor is. I like the part where you had see which clothing would be a good insulator so he wouldn't get shocked by the eels. There was also one part that you have to light the light bulb with a battery and some wires like we did in science class too. When I put the key in the part where it had to go, it was an insulator because the light bulb lit up. It's like what we did in science class where we had to identify all the items if it was an insulator or a conductor. To tell that, the light bulb would light up. Here is a website that I found about all about science.

    3. I also played this game
      I LOVED it , now if I ever whent there I would no what to wear..
      I taught me cool things about electricty like rubber is an insulator and cotton is too.
      this reminds me of the website mrs.Charles showed us on putting the key,eraser,and batter
      I LOVED that one too.

    6. I agree with you Carolina. I also played the electricity game. I thought it was really fun. It taught my really interesting things like rubber and cotton is an insulator. It reminded me of the time when we made an electricity circuit in Mrs. Charles blog. I really liked that experiment. If you were here at third grade you would've studied this at the end of the year. I also found this really cool game at bbc, http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/ks2/science/materials/changing_states/play/ . It reviews the three states of matter and how a solid can change into a liquid and a liquid can change into a gas. Its where the narrator is at Alaska and he has to survive with some water. First you get ice, melt it , clean it then drink it. I think you should try it out.

    8. I also liked the electricity game. It taught you all about conductors and insulators. I liked how it had all sorts of activities that you could try. You could go to this if you forgot them, too!

      Delete
  4. I chose the electricity game. The game teaches you how to build a circuit and indentify which materials conduct and do not conduct electricity. Then, it tells you some really interesting facts about electric eels.The cotton does not conduct electricity, same as the rubber, and the metal does conduct electricity.

  16. I played all the games and my top 3 are Magnets, Electrical Conductors, and Mixtures/Solution. Magnets gave me an idea of which magnets attract or repel what. Plus, it was fun. I liked Electrical Conductors because it gave me an idea of which objects are conductors or insulators. It was also fun seeing which objects are mixtures and solutions.

  18. The Electricity game is fun! I like how you get to make circuits. The Triple beam balance game is also fun. You get to learn how to use a triple beam balance, and you measure objects. Also, I have made a homework site for people that forgot their homework. The site currently has homework for Mrs. Juans's class, Dr.Coolidge's class, and Mrs.Charles' class. The homework was fun!

    1. I played state of matter. I learned that with a rise in temperature the molecules start as a solid and they are barely moving and organized. As a liquid, and temperature is hotter, the molecules are farther apart and moving faster. As a gas, temperature is hottest and the molecules moves very fast and farthest apart.

  74. I played 3 games, all of them really FUN!!!! The first one I played was States of Matter and you had to click solid, liquid or gas to see how closely packed or however freely the molecules of each state were. The second game I played was Electricity and you had to make a light bulb light up by completing the circuit. You also had to find a good insulative outfit for the guy on Deadly 60 (I love that show!) so that he could go swimming with electric eels. The third game was Magnets. YOu had to pretend to be an agent and use magnets to get sandals, something golden, and a vase in a glass case (the vase in the glass case was the most fun).

  78. I played the electricity game. It was really fun and learned alot about conducers and insalaters which I did not really get conducters and insalatures but now I am 100 percent sure I know what they are. This should be the homework for every week bescause it makes you learn alot about the things that you are confused about. These web sites are realyy helpful and so is this:
