Schoolhouse Rock!: 3rd & 4th Grade
Schoolhouse Rock!: 3rd & 4th Grade is an educational game that teaches elements of the US curriculum for 3rd and 4th graders aged eight to ten. It is based on the Schoolhouse Rock! TV series. It comes on two discs and contains over 70 activities for the areas math, grammar, language arts, geography, science, and history. The game re-uses the plot of earlier games. The first disc features Interplanet Janet and the story from Schoolhouse Rock!: Exploration Station with eight areas based around math and science. Concepts include patterns and sequencing, equations, the human body, electricity, and more. The second disk is based around Lucky Seven Sampson with the plot from Schoolhouse Rock!: Math Rock. There the activities focus on language arts, geography and American history. Almost all of those were previously used in Schoolhouse Rock!: America Rock. The second disc then ends with the board game traditional for the series leading to rock star fame for Lucky. Extra elements include report cards, printable activities for off-computer time, and real-life learning that includes critical thinking, creativity, vocabulary, and logic. There are three difficulty levels and 13 videos from the TV series. The game also comes with a parent's and a teacher's guide. The skills addressed include computation, multiplication, division, fractions and equations, negative numbers, logic and strategy, addition and subtraction, grammar, spelling and vocabulary, parts of speech, conjunctions and interjections, earth and natural science, physics, anatomy, electricity, technology and inventions, solar system, weight and measurement, US and world geography, and history.
