Experiment with the number of predators, prey, consumers, and producers, and see what happens to the rest of the food web. Download our free lite version to try before you buy. iBiome-Ocean was a winner of the Parents' Choice Gold Award, and awarded the gold medal from Mom’s Choice Awards! “this app invites many return visits in which enthusiastic young marine biologists continue to learn more about their favorite species.” – Parents’ Choice Gold Award " iBiome-Ocean allowed my students to discover how food chains and webs work because they could manipulate them using what they read in their science textbooks. I have taught for 38 years, and this is one of the best products to teach ecology that I have used. It teaches students the phenomena of real-life food webs." – Gr.6 science teacher from California US “The iBiome games bring the science curriculum to life! Building food chains and observing changes in food chains as species are added to each dome really helped my students understand ecosystem interactions. While playing, the children often comment on loving the scientist, they marvel at pictures of the real-life organisms, and are proud of themselves after completing a dome. The iBiome games are a fun addition to my science classroom.” – Gr.3 science teacher from Ontario Canada iBiome-Ocean is the sequel to five-time award-winning kids app iBiome-Wetland. iBiomes series teaches your child about scientific literacy and critical thinking. Kids learn through asking questions, experimenting, and observing what happens when they change their biome. We hope that this app encourages you and your child to discuss science, and learn how we can help protect oceans from plastic pollution, overfishing and ocean acidification.

We all could use a broader knowledge and understanding how the life of the oceans depends on how we live our own lives. This is a very good gateway for young minds to turn toward understanding our oceans, appreciation of the life within our oceans and ways to help keep our planet healthy. ### 5/5 — Fun & Educational *2017-04-06, version 1.1* My son loves it. He dropped off his video games and finished all the levels. This is exactly what I'm looking for. This is a fun and educating game that can teach kids about biology. ### 5/5 — TOTALY woth my money *2017-04-06, version 1.1* I downloaded and played with my daughter who loves biology and it was totaly worth it. She loves the adding new and interesting species into her dome through the crazy web play and the add species to te dome option. As well as biology, she learned about ecology by building everyday objects. I think this is a faboluos game to teach anyone about the species who share this earth with us in a fun and engaging way. ### 1/5 — Junk *2017-03-31, version 1.1* Junk! A white screen with music! **Developer response:** Hi, Sorry about the bad experience. Could you please kindly share what kind of iPad/iPad mini you use? Thanks! Springbay Studio Support Team ### 1/5 — Don't buy this app!! *2017-03-27, version 1.0* We are so disappointed with this app. My five year old son loves science and nature. We were so excited to build a coral reef together and learn the bio system behind one. Unfortunately, the app crashes relentlessly. We have tried it multiple times and it continues to crash within a minute of using it. Don't waste your time and money on this!! **Developer response:** Hi, Our sincere apologies about the crash you experienced. We just released an updated version that could potentially fix the issues you experienced. Would you like to try it again? Thanks for giving us an opportunity to fix this issue!
