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.

A very important part of the scientific process is to share all parts of your experiment with the world. There are many ways scientists share their work with the world. But this includes doing presentations about their experiments, writing scientific papers like the lab reports you might do in school, and creating posters about their work. Whatever form someone chooses to share their work, they should make sure to include all the stages of a formal scientific writer including research question, hypotheses, methods, results, and conclusion. Many scientists share a short form of their experiment in something called an abstract in which they summarize all the important points. Scientists usually share their work with other scientists who have done similar experiments. So, once you have performed an experiment, think carefully about how you will share it and who you will share it with.
