What’s It About?

Britannica Kids: Volcanoes contains learning material and articles from Encyclopedia Britannica about volcanoes. Players can read through all kinds of information about how volcanoes are formed and what causes them to erupt. To help make the app more of an interactive experience, players can also view numerous pictures and videos, as well as play a number of mini-games.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:

Kids say: Not yet rated

BRITANNICA KIDS: VOLCANOES is designed for children in elementary and middle school, though the compilation of volcano pictures and videos would dazzle users of all ages. The mini-games are very rudimentary and should not be used as an incentive to buy the app, but the vast array of other content in this interactive encyclopedia is more than enough to make it a worthwhile purchase.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
