There certainly is already a lot of interactive content out there, the problem is it is often hard to find or lies in the collections of some teachers old website where the links are broken and the content is not updated. Good news for us is now there is Gooru: which is developing Math and Science collections and organize them so that a user (free signup) can scroll through different skills from a variety of grade levels and find interactive content, diagrams, videos, and a host of all other sorts of helpful bits that a teacher can place in their collection on the site and use to help students both visualize and practice the contents being taught.
After bouncing around the site, I found all kinds of stuff from Kahn Academy videos to old games and interactive activities that I have seen before from other teacher's collections, but these are neatly organized and easy to access with one click instead of having to field through several Google queries before finding that perfect fit for a lesson. Try it out if you have the time and see if there are any Math and Science goodies in it that can help you bring that lesson full circle. I need to check with one of the teachers in my building because I remember her showing me another site that was similar to this, but I immediately forgot it's name. Look for that post in the near future.
