Interactive Science Lessons
With more than twenty interactive adventures to explore, Tappity is full of content for students. This app was created with the help of NASA-trained educators and professional storytellers. They add new content to their app each week and cover a variety of topics. You’ll find adventures on evolution where students can watch an animal evolve in different environments, with a range of predators and weather systems.
Students can also use Tappity to learn about the ocean as they “swim” to the bottom of the sea and identify different deep-sea critters during their journey. Once they dive into Tappity, your students will find adventures featuring topics like dinosaurs, biology, animals, the human body, and more!
In addition to the interactive science lessons in Tappity, students can solve monthly mini-mysteries. These mysteries tackle questions like: Do aliens exist? Why are flamingos pink? Why do whales have blowholes? You can even use these questions with students to spark their own research or inquiry projects.
Science Exploration
Tappity can help students dive deeper into science concepts throughout the school year. You might make clear connections to your standards-based instruction with Tappity. Or you can use this educational app to give students an opportunity to explore topics where they’ve shown an interest.
