Science & Engineering

Hands-on science for curious kids

Bridges + structures, cosmology, biology, chemistry, ecology, oceanography, climate, weather, geology, fossils, electronics, and creature care. Phenomenon-anchored learning per the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) — each app starts with a real-world question and walks the kid through evidence + explanation.

Kids who ask "but why?" or love finding out how things work belong here.
