i thought physics and chemistry were cool at school because of the explosions, i enjoyed the tension that came with handling hazardous materials, and watching what they do! i think it'd be a shame to use something online for kids.

how about language training? with movie clips, learning words by looking at a picture, chat function, recording mode (both audio and video) and some really weird stuff.. like episodes of cartoons or tv shows everybody knows, but in a different language.. something that people are already familiar with.

learning words by looking at a picture: you see an image of a tree. clickable are: the tree trunk, leaves, berries/nuts/fruit, roots, bark, etc. then you can zoom in on eg. the leaves and find bugs there, with all their names and features.
