Remember those algebra or physics story problems...if a train left the station traveling 70 mph at 1:00 pm on route to the next station 3.4 miles away, what time would the train arrive at the next station? Well the folks at Edheads have created a Virtual Crash Scene. It is a combination of physics, algebra and a video game.

As well students assist a surgeon in a simulation of a hip replacement, knee surgery, find and identify simple machines and learn about weather. These are engaging activities that provide a number of interesting learning opportunities.
