Sids Science Fair by PBS KIDS

**Parents' Choice - Silver Award Winner**Fun science games for kids ages 3 to 6.
Sid’s Science Fair engages children in experiential learning with core science and math concepts from classification and identifying patterns to charting and sequencing.
Emcee’d by Sid, from the hit series SID THE SCIENCE KID, the app is specially crafted for your curious early learner(s) and is optimized for a tablet experience.
[It may not work on all small devices]:
GABRIELA’S “COLLECTION INSPECTION”Use your interactive magnifying glass to discover fascinating patterns among a wide variety of objects, from butterflies and buttons to keys and coins.
Gabriela has fourteen different collections to inspect—and different patterns every time—so this game offers many hours of repeat play!
MAY’S “CHART IT!”Think statistics are boring?
No, no, no.
Not with May and her awesome “Chart It!” game.
Players organize her miniature stuffed animals, balloon creatures, origami, silly faces, and other cool stuff on a chart by observing shared traits.
These traits can include color, shape, orientation, and more.
May has seven different collections, each of which has ten items and three charts.
GERALD’S “TIME MACHINE”Get ready to travel through time!
Or, rather, to make Gerald’s amazing pictures travel through time… First, choose from among his fourteen picture collections.
Then order the pictures into a sequence, such as a snowman melting, candles burning down, a flower growing, or an apple being eaten.
Once your sequence is in order (forwards or backwards in time both work!), you can swipe back and forth or tilt your device left or right to watch the time machine in action.
But beware!
Time machines can have unexpected results…
