Looking for some software to help your kids relax at home or school?

Revising science skills and knowledge on a computer has never been so much fun!

In stunningly motivating maze-worlds such as School World, Industrial World, Scally s World and Blocko World , children win points, clear obstacles and outwit other players by correctly answering multiple-choice revision questions on four topics: Scientific Enquiry, Life Processes & Living Things, Materials & their Properties and Physical Processes.

With enough points to exit a maze, they can tackle another or test their Science skills in one of six puzzles:

• Feel the Force (forces and physics),
• Laser Lab (angles and properties of light),
• Mixture Magic (separating mixtures),
• Living Pinball (investigation and classification),
• Thingamajig (identifying equipment)
• Short Circuit (light bulbs and batteries)

Childrens' work is tracked, worksheets can be printed, further question sets can be added to the computer-generated ones and children can even compare their progress on the High Scores table.

Easy-to-use Options are at hand to set difficulty levels by year group, points required to exit mazes, puzzle availability, time limits and to choose whether the software will help just one player revise or multi-players across a network or via the Internet.

Monitor children from within the game Includes a Maze Designer and Custom Question Writer Prints worksheets to be completed away from the computer Fully configurable - define the topics and puzzles children will meet Puzzles can be played as independent problem-solving activities
