Teaching science to kids is always towing a fine line. On one hand, you need to explain science in simple terms to keep students engaged. On the other hand, you do not want to oversimplify things lest they do not learn anything. Since teachers need all the help they can get, Spongelabs is a welcome addition. This website provides teaching tools such as lesson plans, visual aids, and a class management dashboard to facilitate learning activities online.

To start using Spongelab, search for any topic that you are interested in to get a gallery of teaching materials. Search results are organized into graphics and images, games, animation, case studies, lesson plans, and more. You can then add any item to your list and turn into a complete lesson.

Once the lesson is set up, teachers can track the progress of the class by checking the time spent using, time spent exploring, games scores and more. Students can also join multiple classes and view assigned lessons.

Spongelab is a cool tool based on fun and exploration. Students can learn at their own pace, pick their own lessons, and explore their way through the class. Spongelab is a great example of digital education at work.
