The levels become more difficult as they learn the information — over the summer, your child will learn to crack fraction problems like nuts.
How Our Body Works: The Human Body
Age: 4+
iOS, iPadOS: 8.0 and newer
The interactive model will help your child understand the basics of anatomy: what organs and systems our body consists of, what functions they perform. How the heart pumps blood, and the lungs saturate it with oxygen - shown in motion and is downright fascinating. And there is also a chat so that parents and children can exchange knowledge and ask questions. Learning will be simple, fast and effective.
Device or real life?
This dilemma arises for many parents whose child spends days on a tablet or smartphone. Especially when so many interesting applications have been downloaded. In order to have enough time for live communication with peers and family, it is worth limiting the time spent using the device. It is also important to protect the child from age-inappropriate content. For all this, there is a parental control mode on the iPhone. Activate it to control how your child uses the phone. For example, two hours will be enough for games. And no 18+ content!
