Editors' Notes
Once again, the creators of The Human Body and Simple Machines have turned playtime into a rich learning experience. Tinybop’s sandbox-style app lets kids experiment to their hearts’ content—seeing what happens when they move the sun, whip up winds and cause rainstorms. A zoomed-out view illustrates the broader water cycle at work, while fascinating closeups show things like the effects of changing temperatures and strengthening tornadoes on everyday life. We also dig the detailed study guide offering extra info and discussion ideas.
Love it!
I think this app really gets it right. It presents specific elements of weather patterns and their causes and effects which kids will relate to, the underlying effect of temperature on water at a microscopic level which is shown intuitively and beautifully and the broader wholistic story of weather as part of a cycle which involves us and is going to become more important for kids to feel a part of. And all this while remaining typically wonderfully designed and engaging for kids.
