SpongeLab

Without up-to-date textbooks, a lot of the science curriculum needs to come from alternate resources. I've been spending a lot of time this summer searching the Internet for well-made and age-appropriate science resources. The task is a lot harder than you would think. Although the Internet does have a wealth of resources, most materials are not made with middle school students in mind. Additionally resources that are well-made are usually very costly.

However, I was lucky enough to stumble upon SpongeLab, an open education platform containing an abundance of science games, videos, simulations, and interactive tutorials. I can not say enough good things about SpongeLab. I've spent days playing their games and exploring their resources, and I am very excited to share them with the students at North Daviess.

Here is the link to their homepage for anyone who would like to explore their content: http://www.spongelab.com/
