Sophie

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.

The human heart is made of very strong muscle. This organ consists of four chambers which pump blood around the body by squeezing and relaxing in a regular rhythm. The heart beats on average 70 times per minute. This might be more or less depending on a person's age, fitness level, and other health factors. The heart has a special area which acts as a pacemaker. This area creates an electrical impulse like a small electric shock which makes the chambers of the heart contract at the correct time. This ensures the blood is pumped in the right direction and at a speed that is suitable for the body's needs.
