Science Games

i teach 7th and 8th grade consumer science (formerly home ec.) i see the classes once a week for 70 min. two classes are small and have 25 kids. i need some project ideas with these limitations: absolutely no money, no cooking on the stove or oven. i am in this school only this one period per day. the staff are pretty unfriendly, the kids are pretty unruly, i have a text book from the 80’s and the curiculum is anything related to life skills. i like to do hands on stuff. the best projects so far were: friendship bracelets, painted t’s and valentine projects from kits from walmart. i paid for all that stuff myself. the school is in the city, most kids are pretty low income, they like fashion, game systems, thier names on things, thier horoscope sign, celebrities, tweetie, pooh, and thier relationships with each other (dating, fighting, etc)
so, please pass on any good ideas!!
thanks

any websites would be very helpful, maybe some that also have games and so on for the kids.

I have an M.D., but never practiced medicine. I have been tutoring junior high- and high school kids in math, science, and some English for several years with various franchises and small companies, while following my wife here and there while she is pursuing higher medical education. Am I behind in the game? How do I increase my stock/chances? (I’m thinking of teaching anatomy and physiology to nursing and allied health students. I considered going back to school to get certified for teaching math and/or science on the secondary level, but I can’t afford it.)
I got my M.D. six years ago.

If i were to teach a class for a summer school program, what games would the kids, ages 12-14, like to learn? is there something i can incorporate into these games pertaining to math, language arts, science etc? any suggestions are excepted thankyou.

I have a 12 year old brother who does not do too well in school. He hates school and anything to do with it. He is not a bad kid, he just doesn’t understand and we can’t seem to get through to him.

Since he loves playing video games I was hoping that there are some educational games that would not be too kid like and that he would be interested in. He loves any kind of action games, especially ones having to do with the military. So maybe I can trick him in to learning, he would be having fun learning and not even realize it.

Can anyone help?

For school science fair that is coming up soon we are supposed to have a project/study/experiment that has meaning, like why would we want to know this stuff, etc.

And upon playing Call of Duty on Xbox Live, I’ve realized just how addicting these games are, so is there anything science related? And if yes - what?

living in china, so web sites would be much help. need games that will entertain kids as well as teach them english. Any help would be much appreciated

I would like to create centers in classroom and have kids play them.ANy suggestions on where i can find them,what could be good board games, and how about teacher discounts or hey even for free.It can even be a strategy game dealing with buliding.But it must involve groups.

I just started tutoring in a local minority neighborhood. I know some of you will be tempted to recommend cheesy little kid games. These kids have hard lives and have been exposed to things that have gotten them past the immature games. I’m looking for games that would actually be fun for them so that they can feel like I’m actually talking with them instead of down to them.

I am a child care provider. Looking for activities for my kids to do . I am doing a lesson plan. I don’t mean on Hawaii. I mean about Hawaii.
