Impression of the Software

Science was not one of my areas of interest and this app has captured my interest.  The voiceover is fun. I think the app is a great mix of education and enjoyment. This is an app that is comforting to leave within the hands of your child. 

Pass APPS

This app is a little pricey but sounds like a great resource for students that struggle with or want to experience more science.  The app passes the test by having a reliable young scientist explain things clearly. Her excitement about science is attractive. Easy navigation for students and appealing visuals add to passing the test.  If a teacher is limited on physical materials this app can provide a resource in the classroom.
