FOSSWEB GRADES K-5 CD-ROM
Interactive activities for Grade K-5 are designed to engage students through fun and educational resources that benefit both learners and teachers! These activities allow students to explore various scientific principles in an interactive way while providing teachers with valuable tools and information to enhance their classroom lessons.
PHYSICAL SCIENCES
Grade 5: Mixtures and Solutions - Understand the properties of different mixtures and how solutions are formed. Engage in hands-on experiments to create your own solutions at home or in class!
4: Magnetism and Electricity - Discover the principles governing magnetism and how it relates to electricity. Conduct experiments to test magnet strengths and learn about circuits!
3: Matter and Energy - Dive into the concepts of matter and energy, exploring their different states and forms. Create energy transformations through simple projects.
2: Balance and Motion - Investigate the concepts of balance and motion through engaging activities that use everyday objects to demonstrate physics principles.
1: Solids and Liquids - Explore the characteristics of solids and liquids with hands-on activities. Experiment by mixing various substances to see how they interact!
LIFE SCIENCES
Grade 5: Living Systems - Explore the different systems that make up living organisms, from cells to ecosystems. Create models to illustrate these complex systems!
4: Environments - Understand how organisms interact with their environments. Engage in projects that analyze the effects of human activity on local ecosystems.
3: Structures of Life - Examine the various structures that make up living organisms, from plants to animals. Compare and contrast them through detailed observations.
2: Insects and Plants - Learn about the interdependence between insects and plants. Create a mini-garden to observe these relationships in action!
1: Plants and Animals - Discover the differences and similarities between plants and animals. Conduct simple experiments to see how each can affect the other.
EARTH SCIENCES
Grade 5: Water Planet - Investigate the water cycle and its importance to Earth’s ecosystems. Conduct water quality tests to see how human activities impact this vital resource.
4: Solid Earth - Explore the geological processes that shape the Earth, including plate tectonics and erosion. Create models of landforms and investigate their formation!
3: Sun, Moon, and Stars - Discover the relationship between the Earth, sun, moon, and stars. Participate in nighttime observations to identify celestial bodies.
2: Pebbles, Sand, and Silt - Learn about soil composition and how it affects plant growth. Go on a scavenger hunt to collect soil samples and analyze their contents!
1: Air and Weather - Understand the properties of air and various weather phenomena. Create a weather station to track and predict changes in weather!
GRADE K
Wood and Paper - Explore the properties of wood and paper through hands-on activities. Conduct experiments to see how different types of paper can hold water or how wood can float.
Animals Two by Two - Learn about different animal species through pairing activities. Discover how animals live and thrive in their respective habitats!
Trees - Investigate the importance of trees through environmental projects. Students can plant trees or create leaf rubbings to learn about different species.
Content Example:
Grade 4
Explore the Geology Lab to find out about different types of rocks and the landforms found on Earth’s surface!
Check out the Food Web Challenge to see if you can figure out the relationships between organisms.
Play the Pollinators Game to find out what or who pollinates which flowers.
Investigate the magnets found in a typical kitchen. Try to pick up metal filings with the electromagnet.
Additionally, learn about sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic processes through animated simulations that visually explain these geological transformations!

For Windows/Mac [*Please review compatibility/platform sections in 'What You Get']
WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
