If I end up teaching a physics class, Outer Wilds provides a perfect environment to play around with motion physics in a hands-on way. In the game, you pilot a spaceship (or spacesuit) that's subject to realistic physics.

PhET Natural Selection

This game provides a way for students to observe and interact with natural selection and evolution, which is otherwise hard to observe due to how long the process is in real life. There are also many other PhET games related to biology.

This site contains a lot of biological information about sharks and several small games/quizzes about them. This is a helpful resource for marine biology.

This tool is a sort of "virtual dissection" with an associated assessment. This could be helpful when teaching anatomy.
