DYNAMIC LEARNING ACTIVITIES
Dynamic Learning Activities help students apply what they have learned in an exciting new way. In this interactive game environment, students can choose to practice timed math computations on "chalkboards," mix beakers of chemicals to balance equations in chemistry lab, and, in the state quiz section, test their knowledge about each state while racing against the clock to place the state piece on the map.
