Changing
Illusions - Have you ever watched the sun set over
the ocean? It looks as if it is going into the water, but
it isn't. This is just an "illusion"--something that
looks different than it really is. Look at these five
illusions. Use the dial and follow the directions to
change the picture. Then click on the button, "Reveal
Illusion" to see if you were correct or not. Aren't these
amazing?!

Mind Reader - This site will amaze you! At the site:
Choose any two digit number. Add the digits together.
Then subtract the total from the original number.
(Example: If your number is 23, add 2 + 3 =5. Then, 23-5
=18). Take the resulting number and find it on the chart.
Notice the symbol on the chart next to your number. When
you have it in your mind, click the crystal ball and the
symbol you were thinking about will magically appear.

Who
Wants to Win A Million Dollars!? - This game is based
on the popular TV show. The rules are the same as the TV
show, but you are not playing for real money. All
questions are about science or math. Play this game in a
group. Help each other with difficult vocabulary and hard
questions. When you discuss, use these phrases: "What do
you think? Are you sure? Let's choose (A or B etc.) Why
don't we guess (C or D, etc.). I don't think so, I don't
agree, Yes, you're right, Let's try it! We got it! We
missed it!"
I hope you win the $1,000,000! at
