How Whyzies teaches it
- Everything is pictures and spoken words, so even pre-readers can play.
- With Whyzies Plus, the Why? World journey covers floating, weather and the water cycle, plants, animals and life cycles, magnets, space and the human body. Each world has a “Why?” explanation, questions and a “Try it at home” experiment.
- The five science games are free for everyone.
Try it at home
- Float or sink in the bath: guess first, then test. Ask “why do you think it floated?”
- Put a bean on a wet paper towel in a clear jar and watch it sprout over a week.
- Take a fridge magnet around the house: what does it stick to?
- In a dark room, shine a torch at a ball and slowly turn it: that’s day and night.
Questions parents ask
What science do children learn at 4 to 7?
Early science is about noticing and asking why: living things, materials, weather, the senses and how things move. Whyzies covers all of these with simple, accurate explanations.
Are the experiments safe?
Yes. They use everyday things like water, a torch, a magnet and a bean, and every experiment card says to try it with a grown-up.
Is it free?
The five science games are free, with no ads. The Why? World journey comes with the optional Whyzies Plus family plan.
Ready to play?
Free for every family, with no ads and no sign-up. Grown-ups can set time limits and bedtime.
