- Play the role of scientist in a pretend bioengineering lab!
-
Collect sound, temperature, and light measurements from your
environment to generate a world of infinite creatures in the sensors
alive app.
- Create, collect, Play with, and take care of your creatures and their worlds in the app.
- Demystify abstract physics phenomena like light, sound, and heat
as never before — with this highly innovative, gamified sensor physics
lab. The core of this science kit is an app-based video game in which
you use real-world sensor data that you collect from your environment to
generate a diverse array of creatures.
- Create, collect, Play with, and
take care of your creatures in the app. In a pretend bioengineering lab
inside the game, Kids play the role of scientists who use readings taken
from three physical sensor pods outside the game. The readings are then
transferred into the game via the base station. The sensor data
dictates the different attributes your bioengineered creatures will
have. For example, if you take a low temperature measurement, the
creature generated will have long hair to keep warm. If the temperature
is high, perhaps it will have scaly skin like a Lizard. Or, a low light
level captured by the light sensor might yield a creature with huge eyes
to see better in the dark, while a high sound level reading might
result in a creature with tiny ears.
- Additional attributes are
controlled directly by settings in the app. Combined together, all of
these variables lead to a seemingly infinite number of creatures you
could create. Continue to use the sensors to capture data that lets you
care for your creatures, feed them, play with them, create habitats for
them, and generate more creatures — all the while developing an
intuitive sense of the different measurements you are taking with the
sensors.
- You will gain experience in measuring light levels, volumes,
and temperatures with the three sensor pods, and learn about the physics
behind light, sound, and heat. Learning physics comes alive as you see
the tangible results of your sensor experiments. The kit contains three
sensor pods, base station, app, and quick-start poster. Requires a
tablet or smartphone running recent versions of iOS or Android.".
