Simple Machines by KIDS DISCOVER

What it is: an interactive book + extra activities introducing kids to simple machines (wheels, pulleys, wedges, levers, planes and screws).

What you do with it: explore the chapters using the main index or page by page. Some pages contain extra photos, short animations or diagrams illustrating the topics.

The extra activities include: 2 types of puzzles and a simple science quiz.

What we liked: the concept. Quality illustrations. Good educational value (explanation and illustrations of the concepts, interesting facts).

What we didn't like: almost no interactive features (just a few interactive animated diagrams). No narration. Navigation is not intuitive (and could be more responsive). The extra activities are very basic.
