Virtual Science Games – learn about science in a fun way online!
(Provided by CalPac, Friday, September 16, 2016)
If you have to learn, may as well have fun doing it. Learning by playing is tactile and helps with memory. I have discovered many websites that allow students the opportunity to go online and play games that actually teach certain subject areas that they are learning in school.
So check out some of these websites for some virtual fun while you learn!

Dragon Genetics
http://biologica.concord.org/webtest1/web_labs_genophenotype.htm
This activity explores the relationship between genotype and phenotype, using both sex-linked and autosomal dominant and recessive traits. By manipulating alleles (genotype), you create corresponding changes in the dragon's physical appearance (phenotype).
