Some ideas under science section.
Please give suggestions

1. Introduction to our solar system. This is an activity dedicated to the
knowledge of solar system, its constituting planets, moons and the sun. The
kid is first provided with an arrangement of the system. He has to click on
individual planets and then a new screen pertaining to that planet is
displayed which will contain all the basic information regarding the planet
for the understanding the concept. On mouse hover over the planet, the name
can be shown.

2. solar system game. Having understood the concept and arrangement of the
solar system from the introduction, I wish to create another activity for a
simple game. In this, some worng arrangement of some planet is given and
the kid has to drang the planet to its original ring. As the level
increases, the number of planets and complexity of arrangement also
increases.

3. Food chain activity. Different types of levels in the food chain is
explined and the kid plays the food chain as it goes. Like
Grass->deer->lion. deer must be clicked so that it goes to eats grass and
this way the game will continue once the chain is completed.
