Online Gizmos at explorelearning.com
Every student in 5th-8th grade has a subscription to explorelearning.com. Students keep their username and password taped into their student planners. The website provides hundreds of virtual labs for math and science. We use it primarily for science and never as homework. It allows us to engage in virtual experiments that would be impossible to do in a classroom (ex. comparing the temperatures of different stars). If your child misses a day at school, he/she may need to login at home to complete an assignment.
