Make Me Genius


Grades K-7, with parental supervision

This ad-supported website based in India was developed by a group of high school students in collaboration with teachers to offer free animated videos that explain science concepts in a way that is engaging and fun for students.
When you get to the site you’ll see a menu of science videos separated by grade range from K-7 that cover a variety of science topics including:

  • Solar System
  • Hibernation and Migration
  • 3 States of Matter
  • Weather vs. Climate
  • Sink or Float
  • Ecosystem
  • The Nervous System
  • Newton’s Laws of Motion

When you’re through watching the videos, take a quiz to test your knowledge of what you’ve learned. (See Science Test & Quiz link on left sidebar.)
And just for fun, check out the Jokes for Kids that you and your children can enjoy and share.

Thank you,

Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
