In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. Genesis 1:1
We are using "Science of the Physical Creation in Christian Perspective" by Abeka for 9th grade science this year. Since my 9th grader's favorite subject is NOTscience, I've been looking for ways to make it a little easier and fun to study. Yesterday we discovered a really fun, easy to use website to create flash games. Teachers are able to enter the questions and answers to personalize the game, or may choose from an enormous list of games other teachers have made.
Not only did my daughter think it was awesome, but the boys heard us having a good time and wanted to make games out of their lessons, too!
My daughter helped me create the games ~ we picked vocabulary term and concepts out of the "Science Manual with Lab Demonstration Exercises" that coordinates with the Abeka curriculum. I had her recite to me the answer and question that I typed in. (She was learning and reviewing just by creating the game - shhh - don't tell her!) Then, of course, we had fun playing the games to reinforce the concepts.
In fact, she played them several times with a smile - now you know if I ask her to keep studying the terms with just the textbook, she wouldn't be smiling! 
Games we made to go with Chapter 2: The Atmosphere:
Chapter 2-1 Terms: Speed Match Game
Chapter 2-2 Terms: Who Wants to Be a Millionaire
Science 2 Matching: Jeopardy Review Game
I hope these may be helpful to other who may be using this curriculum, also. We will add new games as we make them. Have fun!
There are also a Speed Match Game, an Online Board Game, and some other interesting flash tools.
