Play and Learn Science

The Play and Learn Science app contains a suite of educational kids games from PBS KIDS designed to encourage early science learning!

Kids can play a range of games that help them learn core scientific concepts, all while building and developing problem-solving skills.

As kids play, adults have access to co-learning prompts that offer ways to create “teachable moments” that help kids see how science is part of the world around them. It's easy to teach science through play and real-world experiences!

The Play and Learn Science app offers a variety of tips and strategies that help adults nurture a child’s scientific thinking. Hands-on activities for every game help bring the experiences in the app into the real world. This learning app encourages education outside of the app with co-learning activities for children and parents!
