Toxie, the ToxMystery (http://toxmystery.nlm.nih.gov) guide cat, has returned to school and can now speak Spanish. By selecting the "Espanol" or "English" tab on the upper right of the homepage, gamers can move between Spanish and English as they explore the site's "house of hazards."

ToxMystery is an e-learning game that uses animation, sound effects and
positive reinforcement to help 7-11 year olds learn about possible chemical hazards around the home. ToxMystery en español's "Para los padres" (For Parents) page gives parents more detailed information about potential household hazards. The "Para maestros" (Teachers) page has lesson plans and downloadable classroom activity pages in Spanish. ToxMystery can be used in science and health classes.


Come play with Toxie and see if you can find the hazards in English and en español!
