Plant Hunters is a super cool interactive from The New York Botanical Garden that takes students on a journey through a Conservatory while learning about plants found in different biomes. From the site:
“Travel through a world of plants in the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory at The New York Botanical Garden. Discover 66 plants from around the globe that all live in the very same building. Each “house” of the Conservatory features a different biome, perfectly designed for the plants that grow there. You may be a Beginning Botanist now, but you can become a Professional Plant Hunter after you try out the seven different Plant Challenges.”

The Lawrence Hall of Science kids site is just amazing! There are projects, quizzes, research information, photos, and games on many science topics such as animals, oil spills, and plants, to name a few. The arcade currently has 14 games, and many of them work great on the SMART Board. Check it out!
