Seek Your Own Proof
© 2010 Rocket Fuel Productions
If you're old enough to remember the Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego series, you get the general idea of Seek Your Own Proof, a web-delivered detective adventure that follows the story of three investigative siblings - Aidan, Milanie, and Heiko Munro on a series of missions. Each Flash-based mission is sold for $4 (the first one is free, after you register); or you can buy ten for $20. One of the main strengths of each mission is the way that the Discovery Kids video footage is mixed in with the detective work. This is top quality content, and there's no doubt that a child will walk away from this experience with greater curiosity about a subject than when he or she started. As a result, it would work nicely to enhance a classroom science curriculum; or it could be used on a stand alone baies during a summer vacation or for a home schooled child.
