Build, test,
discover together.
Nine interactive experiments as a tool for parents. Guide your child’s observations, demonstrate what changes and use the explanation notes to discuss your questions. Each test is ready to demonstrate.
Choose an experiment together
Choose a topic your child is curious about. Each lab includes prompts and an explanation guide.
Egg Drop
Help your child distinguish slowing a fall from cushioning the landing.
Boat
Help your child distinguish a boat sinking under weight from tipping because of cargo placement.
Spin
Help your child compare initial speed and spinning duration as two different observations.
Gravity Racer
Help your child make a fair comparison between two car designs on the same ramp.
Balloon Car
Help your child connect backward-moving air with the forward push on the car.
Catapult
Help your child separate the effect of pullback from the effect of launch angle.
Paper Plane
Help your child relate the balance point to changes in the plane’s pitch and flight.
Tower
Help your child distinguish the whole tower tipping from a leg bending under compression.
Bridge
Help your child see how triangles and beam length influence a model bridge.
Understand the experiments
Each lab has a parent guide with a clear explanation, a question to explore together and an activity away from the screen.
- Why do triangles help a bridge stay in shape?
- Which car rolls down a ramp faster?
- What protects an egg when it falls?
- Why does a balloon car move forward?
- What controls a catapult’s range?
- Why does a tower tip or buckle?
- How does weight placement change a spinning wheel?
- Why does a boat float or tip?
- Why does a paper plane climb or dive?
For parents · Exploring together
Guide the experiment together
Stay with your child while you explore. Read the task together and invite them to make a prediction before pressing the test button. Change one setting at a time and invite your child to describe what they notice. Choose the pace and level of detail that suit your child.
Go deeper when you are ready
More to explore opens extra controls. Show the numbers explains the measurements. Each lab has a short home experiment and notes about what the computer model can and cannot tell you.
