Encourages problem solving strategies.

While a claim can be made that perhaps this app helps bolster a student's problem solving capacity, there is no element of the app that allows such a claim to be substantiated. Don't get me wrong... this is a fun game. Certainly, there is a time and place for this. However, there are a variety of curriculum-aligned apps that allow for students to build, create and problem-solve within the content being studied. With so much to teach and such little time to teach it, this app doesn't contain enough "meat" related to content to make a significant enough impact on real learning.

High student engagement, rising levels of challenge, opportunities to retry and rethink encourage students to continue. The game could add a reference section that connected the liquids, solids and steams to scientific concepts for students.

The in-app purchases can be frustrating for the students. At times various links will pop up and redirect the student to the app store.
