Water Cycle Lab Watch a stage of the water cycle, then PREDICT what happens next before the answer is revealed. Predicting first is how scientists really learn.

Food Web Lab Trace how energy flows through a meadow, then predict the cascade: if the grass disappears, who runs out of food first?

Electric Circuit Lab Wire a battery to a bulb, then PREDICT whether it lights — complete the loop, open the switch, or short across the bulb.

Discovery Trail A path through every kit — clear each stop of real practice, then move on.

Predict & investigate

Water Cycle Lab Predict the next stage — evaporation, condensation, precipitation or collection — before the answer is revealed. Food Web Lab Sort producers from predators and predict the cascade when a species disappears. Logic Lab Meet AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR & XOR — set the switches, predict the bulb, then check your truth table. Matter Lab Heat or cool a real substance, then PREDICT its new state using its real melting and boiling points. Electric Circuit Lab Series vs parallel — when one bulb burns out, what happens to the other? Predict, then wire it. Buoyancy Lab Sink or float — by comparing densities, not weight. A heavy log floats; a tiny steel ball sinks. Shadow Lab Move the card, the wall or the lamp and predict the shadow: bigger, smaller, or which way it goes. Light travels in straight lines. Decay It 100× Predict how a hundred atoms spread out as they decay — run it once, then a hundred times, and watch the half-life appear. Little Water Cycle (ages 6–8) For younger scientists: pick a sun, press Next, watch the water go round. Big buttons, read aloud. Teach the Cast Teach a science idea to a cast member still learning it — teaching makes it stick.

Practice & play

Concept Kits 16 kits · 400 questions across scientific method, earth & space, life science, matter & engineering — a hint after a first miss and an explanation every time. Mixed Practice A short round across the kits you have played — brought back to make it stick. CuriosityQuest Sprint A calm speed round on what you already know. Timer optional, no penalty for a miss. Trick Questions Brain-teasers with a twist — spot why the obvious answer is a trap. Science Duel 2–4 players take turns on one device — same questions, highest first-try score wins. Or open an online room. Progress Your levels, days active, and how each skill area is coming along — saved on this device. Progress report For grown-ups — a private on-device snapshot mapped to the skill areas. Export a CSV or print.
