School House Rock videos pertaining to the subject of the activity are readily accessible throughout the program, as is an equivalent help screen. Each of the diverse sections, which range in motif from football field to billiards hall, has its own charm. Our testers were especially excited by the light and electrical circuit activities, although many found the latter quite confusing and admitted to guessing on most answers. The extensive print sections included on each disk were greatly appreciated by our parent reviewers who were delighted with the promise of so many 'extras' to save for vacation or a rainy day. The program installs easily on Windows 95 from either disk.
Navigation is simple and straightforward, and help is just a click away.
This 1st and 2nd Grade program includes more language arts and less creative arts than other multisubject programs of its genre. It is well suited to the serious student, and is especially recommended for budding young scientists.
