Asteroids
Asteroids are interesting to science students. Asteroids are fragments of rock that remain from the solar system's formation over 4 billion years ago. Revolving around the sun, these airless space rocks are too small to be planets. Online interactive asteroid games can follow the classroom asteroid lessons and improve hand-eye coordination in an entertaining way. "Asteroids," found at Learning Games for Kids, is a free online game that requires students to focus while they manipulate the spaceship through the asteroid field, trying to avoid asteroids and UFO fire.
Science Match Three
Children learn the name of scientific tools used in the classroom, such as the lab book, the microscope and the scientific calculator. "Science Match Three" is a free online interactive game found at Learning Games for Kids. Kids can improve their hand-eye coordination skills by matching three identical items in a row by clicking and swapping two items to achieve a row of three. Once three items are matched, the row of three or more will disappear and other items will fall into place, enabling the student to rack up scores fast.
