REVIEW:
Do your students need to brush up in math and science? The Internet Learning Network can help! These interactive quizzes and games give elementary and middle school students practice in a fun and entertaining way. Each quiz not only offers hints when the wrong answer is chosen but also gives explanations when the correct answer is selected. Along the way, students have the opportunity to see how their scores compare with those of other students their age from around the world. When a student completes a quiz, he or she gains access to the game area. Elementary topics in the Goo Laboratory include environment, life science, and physical science. Middle school students may choose from chemistry, environmental and earth sciences, life sciences, and physics in the Mastery Science Theatre or algebra, fractions and number sense, data representation, analysis and probability, geometry, proportionality and measurement in the Celebrity Math Quiz. The Real Challenge, for students in seventh and eighth grades, is a timed test that compares a student's results to those of students from the countries that participated in the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS).
