Sikalias Why Lab
Science stories for kids
$3.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
From scientists who are also parents: science stories for ages 4–7 that turn “why” into questions, observation and discoveries to share.
Science starts with “why”.
Sikalias Why Lab invites children ages 4–7 and their parents to explore the world with Eirini, Nefeli and Pico. Animated stories, questions and activities offer opportunities to observe, talk and make discoveries together.
CREATED BY SCIENTISTS WHO ARE ALSO PARENTS
The stories began within the Sikalias R&D team, initially for our own children. When other families asked us to share them, we opened Why Lab to more children and parents.
Our approach is simple: encourage children to ask questions, look for evidence, try out ideas and change their minds as they learn something new. Vitamins, minerals, food and the world around us become starting points for exploring science in everyday life.
