Community reviews for Simple Machines by Tinybop

Overall, this app is a great teaching tool. I love that through open-ended play, children get to explore the physics of motion that govern six basic machines. Its stylish approach easily attracts student attention, and its goals capture their curiosity. The game is simple to get up and running, and is easy for teachers to ask leading questions and get responses out of their students. Playing the game students will naturally begin to brainstorm, analyze evidence, create a hypothesis and finally make conclusions about simple machines. If you are a teacher that loves inquiry based learning, or even quick science lab, this app is perfect.
