Re-Mission 2 offers six interactives that teach about cancer-fighting treatments. These were designed to encourage young cancer patients to stick with life-saving treatments. The interactives offer all players a chance to learn more about this deadly disease. Choose Nano-Bot's Revenge as you target treatments on a growing tumor or become a stem cell defender fighting off deadly bacteria. Beat five levels in each activity to unlock Special Ops with new visuals and scenarios for fighting cancer.
tag(s): DAT device agnostic tool (179), diseases (71), medicine (69), mental health (26)
In the Classroom
Introduce these activities on an interactive whiteboard or projector. Allow students to explore and play on their own. Challenge students to create a story with cancer as the monster and one of the therapies they learned about as a cartoon figure hero. Then have students create an online or printed comic using one of the tools and ideas included in this collection. Re-Mission 2 would be especially useful if your students know someone dealing with cancer. It will help them understand what cancer is and some of the different treatments. It may also give them hope that the cancer can be treatable. Share these games with your school's counselors as an excellent tool for use with students facing cancer treatments either for themselves, a relative, or a friend.

Travel through the outer ear (pinna) all the way through to the auditory cortex in the brain to see how hearing works. Don't miss the little diagram of the middle ear, on the audiologist's shirt. Click it to learn about balance. Use headphones or turn the sound down on the computer if using this when others are in the room.

In the Classroom
Share this site on your interactive whiteboard or projector during your unit on the five senses, body systems, or sound. Setup a station in your classroom and rotate students through it. The text portions might be challenging for ESL/ELL and younger students. Pair stronger readers with weaker readers. Ask students to create flashcards for different parts of the ear, using an online flashcard maker, like Flashcard Stash, reviewed here.
