 If All Science Could Be This Fun Apr 02, 2002
What can be better than teaching a child by example rather than explanation? I Love Science takes this "hands-on" concept to the next level.
Children are able to conduct experiments of every conceivable kind through the process of deductive reasoning, trial and error and hypotheses. Each scientific concept is introduced using several different approaches in a fun atmosphere with likeable characters.
Three locales teach the concepts of environmental, chemical, and physical sciences. At the tree house the human body, environment, animals and plants are explored. In the kitchen we are introduced to chemical experiments through sorting and testing combinations; and in the garage we are invited to participate in the physical sciences through forces, electricity, sound and heat.
I Love Science takes a technical subject and transforms it into an enjoyable game of the understanding of everyday life. For those of you who hated science in school, your interest may be rekindled when you discover that it should have always been this clearly introduced and practiced.

Great program compatability issues Jun 09, 2004
By joie
My daughter loves science and LOVED this program. However, like another reviewer mentioned, it is NOT compatible with XP and after using the software for several weeks it refused to continue to work. If you don't have XP and your child likes science I would highly recommend this product.

 Great on Windows 98 Apr 21, 2007
By momd
This program is running flawlessly for us on Windows 98. My 6 year old is having a blast...each unit features a brief (one paragraph) reading segment that introduces vocabulary, followed by an experiment, followed by multiple choice questions. The experiments are user driven in that the child gets to choose what to try next and can do these things again without a time limit. They are set up simply and demonstrate the principles very well. (In the real world experiments never work quite this well.) The question section (in which the experiment setup is still on screen in case you need to go back and try again to answer) is very good starting with questions about results, followed by concepts and then ending with a question that extends knowledge. The characters are gentle and supportive for incorrect choices. The "game" component refreshingly takes up little time and includes questions or vocabulary drilling. The speed of these video components (even at the lowest setting) has been too fast. This is a great program.

The box says it's compatible with Windows XP, but it's NOT!
