Sid the Science Kid - Slide to the Side lets your kids explore science. It offers an easy to use and highly engaging interactive interface.

Once done kids start to investigate and experiment via fun and interactive games! - Push-a-Puck: a fun exploration of friction and materials -Sid’s Speedway: an educational driving game that teaches kids about friction through the power of play - The app ends putting the scientific discovery into real life with great videos about the impact of frictions in everyday life with one with Sid's Grandma and another one on cars!

What Fun Educational Apps Liked!

Sid the Science Kids - Slide to the Side is the first appisode of a very promising educational apps series. It is well designed, fun and engaging. We like the step-by-step concept whereby kids first discover, then research and investigate and then apply the scientific discovery into real life example. Loved the example of Sid’s Grandma using wax on her skies to go faster!

This app offers kids great way to understand and explore a science concept via exploration, discovery and experimentation. Parents will like the way Teacher Susie teaches and involves children in the learning process. She does not just states fact, but find a way to motivate and engage children. Kids learn as scientist do - Observe - Ask Questions - Explore and investigate - Describe and record findings - Apply to real life!

Overall, Sid the Science Kids - Slide to the Side is a Fun Educational Apps TOP PICK for its innovation and unique way of teaching children about science. The app encourages children to think, talk and work. The app goes beyond the TV episode as kids get a chance to act and experiment by themselves. Once more Mindshapes Limited has managed to develop a top quality educational app that uses the full potential of the interactive interface of the iPad, a perfect example of interactive education! … We are looking forward to more appisode in the series.

Note: This educational game app comes out the same day as the DVD and iTunes version of Sid the Science Kid: The Movie – further illustrating how entertainment properties such as The Jim Henson Company are delving into the growing educational app market to support the movie and television side…
