...the center of the earth is believed to be a
large ball of iron which is solid in the center,
and molten (liquid by heat) on the outside?
...an earthquake is caused when the plates of
the earth grind together?

Children use Etoys to make their own
models, stories, and games, which keeps them engaged
because it's a lot of fun. But Etoys isn't just child's
play. It's a highly effective way to teach math,
science, and language arts, although many children won't
realize this. Instead they'll stay immersed in discovery,
reaching eagerly for each new idea, making their lessons
more meaning
ful than with a "face-front" approach.
Scratch is a new programming language
that makes it easy to create your own interactive
stories, animations, games, music, and art -- and share
your creations on the web. Scratch is designed to
help young people (ages 8 and up) develop 21st century
learning skills. As they create Scratch projects, young
people learn important mathematical and computational
ideas, while also gaining a deeper understanding of the
process of design.
Tux Paint is a free,
award-winning
drawing program for children ages 3 to 12 (for example,
preschool and K-6 in the US, key stages 1 & 2 in the
UK). It combines an easy-to-use interface, fun sound
effects, and an encouraging cartoon mascot who guides
children as they use the program.
Google SketchUp is software that you
can use to create, modify and share 3D models. It's
easier to learn than other 3D modeling programs, which
is why so many people are already using it. We
designed SketchUp's simplified toolset, guided drawing
system and clean look-and-feel to help you concentrate
on two things: getting your work done as efficiently as
possible, and having fun while you're doing it.
