Freezing micro-lesson
Do you struggle with balancing your kids’ screen time with their education? Say hello to 1Question, the app that solves this problem with a fun twist! Our app lets your child earn screen time minutes in their favourite apps by watching educational videos and correctly answering quiz questions. And the best part? You get to decide which apps to lock behind learning using 1Question.
Learning time
Kids learn by watching short, engaging video lessons.
Freezing is the process where a liquid changes into a solid. Freezing happens when an object loses its heat so it's being cooled down. This causes the particles in the liquid to form tighter bonds which we know make a solid. Now, every liquid has a freezing point at which freezing happens. One example of freezing is when water turns into ice. Now, the freezing point for water is 0 degrees. So, water turns into ice at 0 degrees. But different liquids have different freezing points. Now, freezing is a reversible process, and the opposite of freezing is melting. So, we know that different liquids freeze at different temperatures. Well, they have different freezing points, but why? Because different liquids have different levels of viscosity. Now, that just means how thick a liquid is. And we can see how thick a liquid is by seeing how easily it flows or pours. So, thicker liquids take longer to freeze and have a lower freezing point. It needs to be much colder. So, the highest viscosity will have the lowest freezing points.

Recreational screen time
Kids can use the screen time minutes they earned to unlock the apps selected by their parent e.g. games, social media, streaming, etc.

Out of time
When screen time minutes run out, kids are locked out and need to complete more learning in 1Question to earn more time.
