Sid's Science Fair

Parents need to know that Sid's Science Fair is an educational app based on the television show Sid the Science Kid on PBS Kids. In the app, kids learn about a variety of early science concepts at three different science stations. In Collection Inspection, kids closely examine a collection of butterflies, leaves, buttons, or other items with a magnifying glass. They try to spot three specific elements, as well as explore on their own. In Chart It, kids categorize and sort object by color, type, position, pattern, or other criterion. By placing items on a chart, it helps them visualize data. In Time Machine, kids choose from a large number of things to see in action. Kids first put a series of five pictures in chronological order, and then they get to see nine pictures of the same object in action. Kids tilt the device or run their fingers along a strip to see the change over time in both directions.
