Magnet Game from the B

Tree Game

Here's another game from The Woodland Trust's Nature Detectives. This one fits in with our new Science Topic "Helping Plants Grow". What would a tree see in its lifetime?

Rock Hardness

UPDATE: I have now changed this link to take you directly to the game: Try it again!

Remember the lesson we spent scratching rocks? Well here is a game in which you have to scratch the rock then use what you learn to choose a drill bit.

The numbers the game uses are from Moh's Hardness Scale. You don't need to learn them but it is useful to know that they exist.

Enjoy.
