This website contains highly interactive simulations in physics, biology, chemistry, earth science, and math created by the University of Colorado Boulder. The simulations discuss many topics including sound, color, motion, genetics, waves, arithmetic, fractions, electricity, light, and many more. The simulations are leveled for elementary, middle, high school, and college. These topics are of higher-order level and thinking, but would be a great introduction to a budding junior scientist.
