People occasionally ask for good software titles, and I have one I would like to recommend. It is from The Learning Company (800-852-2255). amd is titled Super Solvers Gizmos & Gadgets. This is a great game that teaches students all about physical science. Although I have seen it recommended for grades 3-6, I have had it on the library computer since September and still have a core of about 30-40 students, grades 6-8 (out of a student body of 325) who eagerly sign up to use the game as often as they can. I think it costs about $60.00, and I know it comes in Windows and DOS (not sure about MAC). It has just been reviewed in the latest issue of Science and Children. (I want to emphasize that I have no connection with the company - just wanted to share a great resource) Susan Burstein Portland Middle School Portland, CT sburstein@csunet.ctstateu.edu
