Educational Resources
Below is a list of websites that may be of some use for students.These websites are not part of education4u and education4u is not responsible for their content. These are good reference sites:
- Wikipedia
- Yes, I know, Wikipedia cops a lot of flack, but as I tell my students - use it as a starting point, not an end.
- BBC Bitesize for Primary
- A good basic English, Mathematics and Science site. Lots of interactive games.
- BBC Bitesize for Junior Secondary
- A good English, Mathematics and Science site for junior secondary students.
- BBC Skillswise
- A similar site to bitesize, but aimed at adults and catering for job seekers and employability.
- The Sydney Morning Herald
- The Herald has gone downhill lately with the quality of it's reporting, but it's website is still good, and very easy to navigate.
- Maths Online
- Fantastic Maths site - and completely free, thanks to McDonalds.
- Kids Know It
- Lots of information about all kinds of things - biology, chemistry, astronomy, maths...
Fun Educational Games
- Tetris
- It is an oldy, but I still think it's one of the most devilishly addictive games ever made.
- Bubblebreaker
- Made famous on PDAs and Pocket PCs - still good logical thinking fun.
- Slider
- Good fun - build your own skatepark.
- Sudoku
- Fantastic for maths skills
Brainteasers
- The Frog Game
- Good fun here - the aim is to get the Frogs to the other side of pond by leapfrogging them over each other.
- Cannibals and Missionaries
- Another really old game, but with quite an attractive interface in this version.
- Rebus Puzzles
- I've liked these since I was a kid - it's even more fun to have a go at making your own up.
- Quiddler
- A diabolically challenging word game - always worth a go, and it changes every day!
- Set Game
- Another challenge, but this one using shapes and colours, from the people who made quiddler! Changes every day, too.
- Tinkerball
- I love this game - one for all the budding engineers and mechanics out there.
- Edheads
- An absolutely fantastic site - design a phone, replace a knee, learn about levers...
