Apps for children must combine education with entertainment not only to get the little ones to keep their attention, but also so that the knowledge acquired through them is better retained and is really useful. The arrival of tablets and smartphones in the school environment has served to change the methods used in classrooms and outside of them as well.
As we have told you in recent days when it comes to talking about other platforms designed for the kings of the house, during the summer, they spend more hours in front of the terminal screens. Sometimes this has a negative impact that can be minimized if parents install games and applications that are especially suitable for children and are completely safe. Today we will talk about one that tries to fulfill these purposes: Touch Lab.
Apps for children that introduce them to science
This tool aims to bring the little ones closer to areas such as the Physics and chemistry in a very simple way: The minigames. The protagonists are in a laboratory where, on the one hand, they will be able to know all the elements of the periodic table and, on the other, carry out experiments through all the instruments that they will find, such as test tubes and centrifuges. At the same time, they will be able to take their first steps in the field of electricity thanks to alternating current tests and also, knowing magnitudes to quantify voltage and power.
Management, another key
Despite the fact that children handle a multitude of devices with ease, another of the keys to the success of everything that is created for them in these formats is their handling. In this case, it will be enough to click on the desired options, which at the same time, will be in a visually attractive environment due to the variety of colors and objects that will appear. With this, its developers intend to enhance the creativity.
