1.
a. Fire

c. Probability
d. You put in a probability statistic for a forest on a
grid, and then set fire to trees. It’s basically testing the probability of a
fire spreading each time a tree burns down. It will then tell you at the end
how much of the forest burned.
e. I would recommend it because it’s really fun. It’s also a
good indicator of what probability means for actual scenarios.
2. This had some fairly interesting ones, but they were too slow
for me.
a. Aortic Aneurysm Surgery
b. http://www.edheads.org/activities/aortic/swf/index.htm
c. Human Anatomy
d. You basically go in and perform aortic aneurysm surgery
on a guy. A lot of the prologue is spent talking about the heart, with some
good background info on things like what a heart aneurysm is. It’s a simple step by step procedural.
e. It provides good tips and hands on experience. It’s also
easy to do.
3. MOST OF THESE WERE BORING.
a. Fractured Fairy Tales
b. http://www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/interactives/fairytales/
c. Writing
d. It’s a little organizer for writing a story. The person
is allowed to read a classic fairy tale, and then if they want to they can fill
out all of the necessary elements of a “fractured” version of the story. Then,
they write it out.
e. It’s a very simple organizer to use, and maps out the key
details of a story. It also encourages people to find creative ways to reinvent
old tales with a fresh perspective.
