This Science Vocabulary Hangman Game has preloaded, grade-appropriate games. Teachers can also upload their own vocabulary terms as well. This would be a great way to informally assess the students' learning.

The Museum of Science has a slew of podcasts, videocasts, and virtual exhibits that are changed regularly. These would be great assignments for small group, remediation, enrichment, or outside-of-class work.
