Description:
Develops an
Understanding of Physical Science Principles. Morty Maxwell, the
Master of Mischief, has a one track mind for science. He's taken over
the Shade Glen Technology Center and claims he can build the best auto,
air, and alternative energy vehicles. Now he's challenging all Super
Solvers to outrace him. To win, you'll need to build the fastest
vehicle. But first you'll have to collect all the parts you need for
your racing gizmo by solving science puzzles featuring everyday gadgets
like wheelbarrows and wrenches, slides and scissors. Then it's off to
the races, where you'll meet Morty and prove that you're the real
master of science!
Special Features
- Science is everywhere. Over
260 puzzles and simulations help you understand the physical science
principles found in everyday items.
- Advance as you learn. Eight different puzzle
types independently adjust to your skill level, so you can advance onto
those you've mastered or continue working on those you find more
difficult.
- Suit yourself. The customization option allows
you to select specific areas of focus and to track your progress.
- It's time to experiment. There's no limit to
the amount of time or number of tries you have to solve each puzzle, so
you can experiment, as all great scientists do.
- Science has never been so much fun. Fast-paced
action, all-new character voices, and spoken help turn science into an
exciting learning adventure.
- The choice is yours. The fast-action option
lets you play with or without the extra challenge of Morty's sneaky
Cyber Chimps.
Activities Included:
- Race to the Finish. Use the
blueprint in the workshop to determine which are the best parts for the
fastest vehicle.
- Science Made Simple. Master the basics of how
everyday objects work by identifying their simple components.
- Outsmart the Chimps. Hunt for the best parts,
but watch out for the tricky Cyber Chimps - they're out to steal them.
- Calling All Scientists. Solve puzzles that show
you how forces work, magnets attract, lightbulbs glow, and much more.
Educational Benefits
- Builds a basic understanding
of physical science principles. Science puzzles complement classroom
science learning by developing children's understanding of force,
magnetism, electricity, gears, balance, energy sources, and simple
machines.
- Encourages hands-on experimentation. Onscreen
simulations of science experiments give children immediate feedback on
their work and, if necessary, encourage further experimentation.
- Creates awareness of science applications.
Solving puzzles that demonstrate basic physical science concepts gives
children the insight to apply that understanding to solving real-world
problems.
- Developed by education experts. Our in-house
team of experts has designed this product with extensive input from
educators, parents, and children to develop math and problem-solving
skills essential for successful learning
