I'm Done....Now What?
Ahhhh....the question that every teacher has to answer a few times a day. I am putting this page together to provide resources of what you can do if you complete an assignment before the period is over.
First! This DAY in Science...
Use your computer to research an important scientific discovery that happened on this date. The internet is filled with a multitude of resources that can aide you in your search. Once you find an interesting fact about "This Day in Science", I would like you to create an unique way to share this fact. What do I mean by unique? Create an iMovie, create a webpage, vlog or blog....it's up to you, just don't put link to the website you found the information.

Critical Thinking - Strategy Games
Cargo Bridge
Build a bridge using your mouse and available budget. When it is done click "Test your bridge". Your workers will use it to get items located at the other side of valley, and bring them back to the shop. Your goal is to collect all items in level. For each level you have limited budget. All money that you won't use, becomes your score, so cheaper bridge = higher score. Money collected in all levels of game will be your total score and will be sent to leader board. You will use those money in challenge mode too. Building tips: * There are two types of bridge elements: "walk" - workers can step on them, "connectors" - used only to connect elements of the bridge, workers do not collide with them. * "Connector" elements are cheaper and lighter so use them as much as you can * Each type of item have different weight and some of them will need stronger bridge then others. * At the beginning of game only wood elements of bridge are available. In further levels, additional materials will be accessible also, so use them wisely!
Clockwork
Clockwork is a take on the standard puzzle game of freeing an item from a set of interlocking pieces. However, what makes clockwork unique is that all the pieces move at the same time in synchronized speeds, much like a clock.
The game consists of three sets of ten levels, each with a different level of complexity. Within each set, player must successfully complete a puzzle in order to unlock the next. There is also an optional tutorial consisting of five levels that outlines the basic mechanisms encountered in the game.
The goal of each level is to reorder the pieces in such a way that the golden gear in the center can escape the screen when "launched". Pieces are controlled using the buttons on-screen, or using the keyboard shortcuts shown.
