John Salyers Assignment#6

The website iknowthat.com was a good website for students in grades from kindergarden to the sixth grade. The website was easy to navigate but maybe a little complex, or it had alot more options than the other website that I played a game on which was Funbrain.com. The game I played on iknowthat.com was called proton don. It was a game in which the students had to use their knowledge of how many protons where in each element on the periodic table. It had a couple of options that the student could choose the degree of difficulty of the questions asked. This either gave the students all of the elements as answers or it gave a select few of the elements to choose from for the answer, which was around twenty elements that could be the answer. The questions were in the form like the following: What is the periodic symbol for the element Oxygen? The answer had to be selected by the student by clicking the symbol O on the table. I found the game very good. If you got the answer correct then the game would let you know that you did a good job and got the answer correct, and if you got the answer incorrect then the game would give you the correct answer and this way you could learn the answer for future questions to get correct.
