REVIEW:
NASA Kid’s Club is a fun virtual playground for young students to explore important skills and concepts with interactive games. The games are divided into five advancing skill levels and are based on national education standards in math, science, and technology. Games increase in difficulty from identifying patterns to games of logic. The three interactive panels at the top of the home page give students updates about NASA’s vision for space exploration, information about the Space Station crew and updates on current events, missions and exciting discoveries in the form of games, video clips, animation and slide shows. Additionally teachers can click on the little red apple to find all of NASA’s educational materials listed by subject area and students can find an interactive drawing board by clicking on the cup full of art supplies. Included, at the top of the home page, is a link to all of NASA’s materials and pages for Kids. |
