http://www.highiqsociety.org/iq_tests/ is educational because it uses math, science, and other education related things. Not only is it a fun IQ test, but we take class tests and this is not so much different.

Fantastic Contraption (fantasticcontraption.com) is a really cool physics game that allows students to use their creativity to get an object into the goal zone.

Funschool at Kaboose is a website with very fun, but all completely educational, games for math, science, geography/history, language, etc. Please add this to the game websites that are allowed.
Reply: This list is intended to be noncommercial educational websites; Kaboose doesn’t meet that criteria so it’s not added to the list. Thanks for checking.
