Learn about the different kinds of galaxies before testing yourself on this site's galaxy games. Build a Milky Way, match the different kinds of galaxies to their pictures, and play galaxy concentration on line. You can also hunt for elliptical, spiral, and barred spiral galaxies that have been viewed from the Hubble Telescope. Teachers can use these games to satisfy national standards in scientific inquiry and problem solving. There is also a lesson plan with step-by-step instructions on how to use the information on this site to teach students general concepts about galaxies. A handy hyperlinked vocabulary list is included.
