Description

The Play and Learn Science app contains a suite of educational kids games from PBS KIDS designed to encourage early science learning!

Kids can play a range of games that help them learn core scientific concepts, all while building and developing problem-solving skills.

As kids play, adults have access to co-learning prompts that offer ways to create “teachable moments” that help kids see how science is part of the world around them. It's easy to teach science through play and real-world experiences!

The Play and Learn Science app offers a variety of tips and strategies that help adults nurture a child’s scientific thinking. Hands-on activities for every game help bring the experiences in the app into the real world. This learning app encourages education outside of the app with co-learning activities for children and parents!

Great concept but needs a major tweak

Love this as a (very) simple approach to basic STEM concepts and applications for preschoolers. The only major problem is that there needs to be an option TO TURN OFF THE SOUND. Seriously. While the “explanations” may be helpful for some kids, most kids are going to get the most out of it by exploring without the treacly voiceover. And parents are going to get tired of that vouce REAL fast.

I’d give it a 5 star rating, but.....

We just downloaded this app and it seems to be a great educational app for my daughter in the areas she’s been interested in. My only complaint thus far is that there is absolutely no sound. No music, no talking, no noise of any kind. Being PBS I highly doubt they’d put out or sponsor something for children that is not as verbally, visually or musically vibrant as all kids are themselves. We’ve deleted the app twice hoping it would fix the problem but it hasn’t. It’s obvious there’s a bug/problem that needs to be addressed in order to keep the child’s attention.
