Real-Life Simulations Bring Science, Math and Creativity Alive!
Observe and Report...
Animal Theater lets children create their own scenes of animals and plants, then observe with delight and surprise how they interact in real life. They write about what they see as the story unfolds. A uniquely powerful simulation engine and true-to-life animations deliver a package full of learning experiences and fun.
...then Program Your Own Movie!
Moviemaker gives children (even non-readers) a novel tool to create sentences that bring their animal actors to life. Like beginning "programmers" they watch the animals follow their sets of instructions.
Enjoy the Math
Balancing Act brings balance to the animal world. While experiencing the pure joy of weighing and comparing animals from polar bears to lemmings, children learn math; from addition-subtraction to multiplication-division, fractions-ratios and even mathematical sentences.
Portfolio lets children keep and add to their treasured creations from any of the activities, to be shared or replayed later.
Field Guides provide rich descriptions of the Alaskan plants and animals found on land and in the sea. A read-aloud option makes their fascinating content come alive to all, including non-readers.
Features:
Children experience the life of a scientist, movie maker or wild life reporter as they:
Create their own action-packed movies, observing how animals really
interact in the wild, or
Program how they want the animals to behave.
Learn math, as they weigh their favorite animals.
Create an animated and written story - even if they don't read or
write - using imaginative new tools.
Explore three northern ecosystems (1 in the sea, 2 on land), using
incredibly life-like graphics and sound.
Observe videos of spectacular scenery and of native Alaskan
customs.
