In Thinkin' Science, students enter the Super Secret Science Station™ and find an amazing world of science fun and discovery. With the Science Scouts leading the way, students conduct scientific experiments and solve exciting science challenges.

Five fun and engaging Learning Environments – Fun Physics, Day and Night, Mystery Cave, Animal Tracking, and What Did You See? – invite exploration and mastery of fundamental science concepts. Thinkin' Science covers many of the major Earth, life, and physical science topics in the kindergarten, first, and second grade curriculums. Young children are naturally interested in science: they love to examine objects and conduct experiments to see what happens.

Thinkin' Science gives students many opportunities to act on this natural curiosity. The program excites students' interest in science and instructs them in the basics of the scientific method: hypothesis, experimentation, observation, and deduction. Students can also explore the Science Web, a child-friendly research and reference tool. Thinkin' Science helps your students think like scientists! Thinkin' Science offers hundreds of challenges. As each student learns and succeeds, Grow Slides advance automatically, offering more challenging problems. You can also set a Grow Slide manually to provide practice in specific topic areas. In each science challenge, a friendly Science Scout guides your students' learning. In the
open-ended Science Web, students can direct their own learning.
