 doesn't work October 13, 2008
I couldn't get it to work on my computer. My husband tried and couldn't either, and he's a computer engineer.

This learning cd is filled with a whole series of attention grabbing games and knowledge boosting activities. The thinking process is definitely lit!
Our kids adore this cd, work hard to get all their chores done to see who can play it first, and have come to love science even more.
As long as you are willing to down load a patch, it works fine on Windows XP.
For those who are sensitive to how human biology is covered, the part on human biology is done appropriately. There is a brief intro to what zygote formation is and that a zygote grows into a fetus, and they state that at 9 months the baby is born, but the cd does not go into any topics of human intimacy. There are no inappropriate pictures or content. The particular values of the parents are left in the parents' court to teach.

I bought this to supplement our homeschool science lessons. At the time I figured we'd just use it as a reward for completing other projects. Turns out, this "game" packs quite the educational value in it!
As soon as a child starts the game they have the option of which section to explore. My son is currently in "Mo's Workshop" learning about friction, electricity and circuits. Once inside the workshop the game lets kids pick out particular lessons they want to learn OR they can let the game do the choosing.
Interspersed throughout the learning portions are little mini-games to keep kids engaged and reinforce what they've learned. My son looks forward to those and I love knowing that he's being "tested", in a sense, for his proficiency in a subject.
With that much thought put into the creation of this game, we're planning to order more games by this manufacturer.
