My Take
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.
How I Use It
Great for use in teaching students sequencing and logical thinking skills. Highly motivating. The teacher must make sure to connect the specific goals of the game to academic concepts such as the different types of liquid - water, poison, etc. and the properties of matter such as water, steam, solid.

Where's the Learning in Where's My Water?
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.

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.

Fun application of physics for young students!
It's definitely designed for younger students k-8 but certainly entertaining and educational although you might need to "explain" the physics to younger children.
