This is an online sorting game that compares the lifetime risk of death from an asteroid impact to other threats. For example, are you more likely to be killed by an amusement park ride or an asteroid impact? It is part of the Killer Asteroids Web Site. The site also features a background overview of the differences between asteroids and comets, information on different types of asteroids (rubble piles vs monoliths), a discussion of how at risk Earth really is to an asteroid or comet impact, and background information on light curves.
This is a multi-level, physics-based game that asks players to save Earth by using their spaceship to deflect an incoming asteroid. It is designed to accurately reflect the physics of space and could be used to help confront preconceptions about motion and forces in space. It is part of the Killer Asteroids Web Site. The site also features a background overview of the differences between asteroids and comets, information on different types of asteroids (rubble piles vs monoliths), a discussion of how at risk Earth really is to an asteroid or comet impact, and background information on light curves.

The world's energy supplies are in crisis, and it's up to you to save the world! This game will teach you all about different power sources, alternative energy, and how we generate electricity to power our lives.
ABOUT THE SCIENCE
So far, most of the world’s energy comes from non-renewable resources such as fossil fuels, oil and natural gas, but alternatives that can be replenished are constantly being developed and harnessed. These alternative energies use renewable resources like sunlight, wind, rain, tides and heat from the Earth to produce energy.
Developing alternative energy sources is critical for sustaining the world’s energy consumption in the future. Wind, tidal, geothermal and hydropower are used to run turbines converting mechanical energy into electrical energy through a generator.
Wind is the bulk air movement created by the variable heating of the Earth’s surface by the Sun. A wind turbine has three very large blades that are shaped like airplane wings to capture the mechanical energy from the movement of the air and convert it into a rotational force. A generator then takes the rotational force and transforms it into electrical energy.
Tidal turbines function under the same principles as a wind turbine, but instead of capturing air movement, it captures water currents. Water currents are produced by a number of factors that include tides, variable temperature, winds across the ocean’s surface, and the Earth’s rotational movement.
Geothermal energy uses energy in the Earth’s crust to heat water and produce steam that then drives a turbine. With the current consumption of energy the non-renewable resources like coal, oil and natural gas will eventually be depleted and alternative energy is needed in order to take their place and ensure lights can still turn on and houses are still heated.
Hydroelectric generators convert the kinetic energy of moving water into electrical energy.
Solar energy uses the Sun and material capable of absorbing light to create electricity from light in solar cells (photovoltaic cells), which can be connected in a series to create solar panels. The energy harnessed is then converted directly to electricity

ScratchJr is an app that is available through Apple (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id895485086?ign-mpt=uo%3D4) or Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.scratchjr.android).
With ScratchJr, young children (ages 5-7) learn important new skills as they program their own interactive stories and games.
By snapping together graphical programming blocks, children can make characters move, jump, dance, and sing. In the process, children learn to solve problems, design projects, and express themselves creatively on the computer. They also use math and language in a meaningful and motivating context, supporting the development of early-childhood numeracy and literacy. With ScratchJr, children don’t just learn to code, they code to learn.
