As you ride their online train you'll be taken through a number of puzzles and games that express the results from that study. The impressive visuals alone make it worth the ride. 

Feel like fishing? Discovery Education has put together a fantastic online fishing game where you can not only hit the lake and catch a wide variety of fish, but you can even create and name your very own to add to the population. Just pick a spot on the lake, choose your bait, and get ready to click a lot with your mouse when one comes on the line. If you pick up trash by accident there's a recycle box to keep the lake clean and if you register you can keep a record of your catches. The fun part is finding out the names of the fish as each one is created by a previous visitor. You can make your own and even check in on it later to feed it. Designed for kids of all ages, the idea is to educate players on food chains, habitat, and fishing.  [More]
