June 19, 2018 by dadofdivas 5 Comments

Design and build marble race-tracks on your own, or by following the GraviTrax design guides. Experiment with gravity, magnetism, and kinetics to launch your marbles to the finish line. Bring the race to the next level with expansion packs and action accessories for more features and speed. Enjoy the GraviTrax app as well. You can have fun on your own creating builds that you can watch come to life in digital form, or build and test your own track ideas before you create them in real life with the app’s detailed building instruction feature. (App available for free via Google Play and the Apple store)

4 Base Plates, 2 Transparent Levels, 6 Balls, 40 Large Height Tiles, 12 Small Height Tiles, 21 Curves, 3 Junctions, 2 Switches, 1 3-1 Block, 1 Vortex, 1 Launch Pad, 1 Magnetic Cannon, 3 Long Tracks, 6 Medium Tracks, 9 Short Tracks, 1 Finish Line, 4 Basic Tiles, 5 Inserts for Basic Tiles and Instruction Booklet

My Take on GraviTrax

GraviTrax is a very cool product that brings together fun, science, critical thinking and more. My daughters and I loved this as it challenged us to think beyond the book that they gave us to create some runs for the balls to maneuver. You have to think strategically to see how the ball will traverse the course and at times you have to make adjustments to correct some of the issues that you initially thought would work. GraviTrax does give you and your kids a book that you can follow to get a feel for the tracks that you can create with their help, but then the sky is the limit when it comes to the courses that you wish to create. All-in-all, this was a very fun product that I would recommend to all!

Giveaway

How would you like to win this for yourself or for your family? All you need to enter is the following:

Share a comment about how else you might try and teach STEM concepts to children.
ENTER THE GIVEAWAY –

Winner must be a resident of the U.S.

Ravensburger Smartscope and Buggaloop Christmas Wishes #Giveaway

November 18, 2016 by dadofdivas 13 Comments

It is getting into November and that means that it’s almost Christmas! It also means that it is again time to celebrate with the Blog Pop Team for their annual Christmas Wishes event! Between November-17-20 the bloggers from Blog Pop are working together to bring you some awesome giveaways! So go and check out the following blogs for some other great prizes, and remember to come back here a lot over the next few days to enter for some great prizes!

My next giveaway is Below!

Where Science, Fun and Learning Collide!

More product information : Use your smart phone or tablet to explore the amazing world of microscopics with Smartscope! Magnify your own finds, including water, sand, feathers, leaves, insects, and more, or study the objects on the included poster and follow along in the manual for fun facts about each. With a removable light source and sliding object tray with two levels of magnification, you’ll be able to scope out all kinds of objects in minute detail.

The bug ‘em out game!

More product information : Look out! There’s a HEXBUG in the yard and it’s coming after you! Players take turns rolling the die and moving their bugs peacefully across the yard, until the HEXBUG emerges from the tunnel and tries to bump them off. Stay standing and continue down your path – get bumped and you’ll have to start from the beginning again! The first player to transport all of their bugs to safety wins this surprising buggy scramble!

How to Play:
1. Roll the die and move one of your bugs the corresponding number of spaces.
2. Watch out for the HEXBUG! If he bumps your bug off of a space, return to start.
3. The first player to move all of his bugs to safety wins the game!

My take on these!

Both of these were great as they brought science to life! Whether it be through a game or looking at things up and close both of these promote creative inquiry and learning which is something that I am always interested in promoting and encouraging. I love to find games and toys that incorporate learning into their use. My girls enjoyed both of these and did not even realize that the learning was happening until it did – sneaky! Both of these great Ravenburger items were well made and easy to set up. Get ready to learn and have fun with both of these!
