About this game

With Play and Learn Science, kids have science and problem-solving games at their fingertips anywhere they go! Play science games, control the weather, roll and slide objects down a ramp, and choose the best materials for an umbrella – all while building science inquiry skills and learning core science concepts.

Science games for kids encourage children to see science in their everyday life. These educational games serve as catalysts for real-world exploration by drawing from real-world locations and experiences that children recognize.

Our family games encourage co-learning with hands-on activities and parent notes! Early learning activities encourage families to “try it” at home and provide tips for conversations, taking the lessons beyond the app.

Ratings and reviews

Good informative gameplay, graphics are easy on the eye and controls are very easy to use. Maybe introduce a problem question for each game nudging creative thinking in the right direction or implement hints or fun fact bubbles for each exercise to stimulate further interest. Great application keep it up!

I really like this game for my daughter. The games are simple and easy enough for my 3 year old yet she is still interacting and learning something through the screen time. Much better screen time vs watching TV!

A sound app, seemingly without ads. It might be worth noting that the app needs to run in landscape mode, which it doesn't inform users, not force the screen into.
