homework and other related work by giving them space to record homework
assignments and projects, keep track of responsibilities and schedule

This
great educational game is unfortunately not available on Android, Windows and
iOS being its chosen platforms. The biology game requires players to survive as
a multi-cellular organism in a tide pool in an hour long play. The educational
game is divided into 18 separate functions with the player eating smaller
organisms and avoiding being eaten by bigger organisms. After every three
levels, the player is given a choice to upgrade to an organism in any four of
these categories - perception, attack, defense, and movement.
Popcap.com
originally developed the online education game as a video game – Psychobabble.
The original game required players to choose words from a word bank and create
sentences, phrases, in teams, and enter the answers in a chat room that was a
part of the game. Due to the cost and time of monitoring these chat rooms for
racy content, the game was eventually discontinued. Today the educational game
is back in a new avatar! Available on the iOS platform, the game offers a
variety of options to build one’s vocabulary and quicken the brain’s
association with words.
Developed
by Vivity Labs, the educational app is only available on Apple iOS. It’s just
the right app for teens who find it mind boggling to deal with and balance busy
schedules and developing hormones! Brains Trainer ensures their minds stay
sharp amidst the chaos! Just a few minutes every day on the app can boost
teens’ brain power, memory and problem solving skills!
Space
Chem, developed by Zachtronics Industries, is available on all the three
platforms of Google, Apple, and Windows. The educational game is loosely based
on the chemistry and the principles of chemical bonding. The player is required
to produce one or more specific chemical molecules by programming two remote
manipulators called “waldos”.
With
these 5 educational games apps, teens will soon learn that learning is as fun
as sending IMs on smart phones and tablets!
