Science for Reception
Ages 4-5 · Reception / KindergartenScience for Reception / Kindergarten
Ages 4-5. Living things, materials, forces, space and the human body, from what a plant needs up to genuine physics.
Questions are picked fresh every run from across Reception topics, so no two goes are the same. Nothing is saved anywhere but this device.
What Reception covers
What is alive and what is not, what animals and people need, the five senses, and day and night.

Medium10 questions · 3 lives · 25s each
Twenty-five seconds a question, three lives, one helper.
Hard12 questions · 2 lives · 15s each
Fifteen seconds, two lives, no helpers. Bigger score if you hold on.
For the grown-up in the room
- Every answer is explained, right or wrong. That line is the part that teaches.
- The results screen breaks the round down by topic, so you can see what to practise rather than just a score.
- Read-aloud is on by default at this age, so a child who cannot read the question yet can still play alone.
- Nothing is stored anywhere but this device, and no score from here goes on a public board.
