REVIEW:
Strong bones-Strong Girls helps young girls understand how weight-bearing physical activity and calcium can be a fun and important part of everyday life. Girls will find the facts they need about bones and calcium to keep their bones strong and healthy as well as an interactive skeleton that displays the names of bones and fun girl-friendly descriptions when the mouse is rolled over the words. The section on Staying Healthy offers up tips for participating in weight-bearing activities such as basketball and tennis. Included are quizzes and interactive games where girls can load the lunch tray with tasty calcium rich foods or test their memory and puzzle smarts. Rounding out the site is a dictionary and a list of Web sites for girls.
