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. All activities
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. 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, streak, 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.

Meet the cast — the characters who teach this
-
Notice Observation / slow looking — name what you SEE before why; most wonder lives in the noticing -
Inkling Intuition / first-guess hunch — your guess is INFORMATION, not a final answer -
Ponder Deepening the question — 'what does that even mean?' is the foundation, never the failure -
Linger Staying with uncertainty — Negative Capability; some good questions take days, the best take years -
Revise Changing your mind — intellectual humility; being wrong is how knowledge MOVES -
Compare Controlled comparison — the fair test; change one thing, keep the rest the same -
Measure Quantification — turn a fuzzy word into a number anyone can see -
Sort Classification — group by one rule and the pattern pops out -
Ditto Replication — do it again; once could be luck, twice starts to be true -
Jot Record-keeping — write it down the moment it happens, so a day-old fact is not lost
