Education, the pursuit of knowledge, and critical thinking are some of the most important ideals that I strive for, and hopefully will one day be able to teach my kids. Yes, it’s fine to have fun and play, but there’s no reason playtime can’t be educational! I love apps and gadgets that are able to teach in a fun way. That’s why I love this post by Mia Wenjen at Pragmatic Mom. Here’s her list of the best science apps for kids:
-Crazy Machines- Use your imagination and build crazy contraptions
-Toca Doctor- Teaches kids basic anatomy and medical care
-The Elements- A “Harry Potter” style periodic table game
-Weird But True- Interesting factoids from National Geographic
-Coaster Physics- Design and test your own rollercoaster
-Virtual Frog Dissection- Dissection without the smell and the mess
