Little Scientist
Science lessons for K–Year 6
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad
New in 1.2: Science Word of the Day, collectable backgrounds, gentle background music and a friendly welcome for new explorers.
Little Scientist turns primary school science into short, picture-filled lessons that read themselves aloud, so even children who are still learning to read can explore on their own.
47 TOPICS FROM KINDERGARTEN TO YEAR 6
From Living Things and Weather & Seasons in Kindergarten to Electricity, Cells and Space Science in Year 6, every topic follows the primary science curriculum, building year by year.
