- Interactive molecular activity demonstration
- Density and buoyancy simulation
- Comprehensive science practice tests
- Category building exercises
- Statistics exploration tool
- Food web population dynamics simulation

These are a few tools for helping visualize middle school science. I spent a year volunteer tutoring middle school (grade 8) science students. While doing that, I created an app with a few simple demonstrations and practice tests to help them. The modules included were those that illustrated or helped practice the concepts my students had trouble either understanding or remembering. The test module contains every test the students took. Hot Molecules is an interactive demonstration of the effects of heating and cooling on molecular activity. Will it float? is an interactive lab simulation for determining density. Questions is a test-practice module for all subjects thus far covered (phase changes, heat transfer, density, atoms, molecules, reactions, atmosphere). Buckets is a category builder to help understand grouping of like things on arbitrary traits Which is Bigger? is an interactive statistics exploration, showing how much overlap there is between categories and how important sample size is. How do population dynamics of the species populations in a food web interact? Play with the simulation and ecological and human-introduced factors. Watch out for natural disasters! Other demonstrations and test topics are added periodically.

Scientify turns Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Maths into something you do, not something you memorise. Every topic is a hands-on mini game where you predict what will happen, try it, and understand why. Built on one simple idea: think first, then act, and you will remember it. LEARN BY DOING, NOT MEMORISING - Predict first labs. Guess the result, then drag the sliders to see if you were right. - Connect the concepts builder. Link cause and effect to build real understanding. - Virtual Chemistry Lab. Predict the reaction, then watch the test tube fizz, change colour, or flash. - Sort and classify challenges that make you reason, not recall. GAMES THAT TEACH REAL SCIENCE - Boss Challenges. Beat the clock with limited lives and combo streaks. - Space Science. Fly a probe into orbit, bend light around a black hole, race a ship toward light speed and watch time slow down, and tour the Solar System. - Missions. Design a roller coaster that survives the loop, escape a lab by aiming a laser, dock a spacecraft using real inertia, build a bridge on a budget, and crack a physics crime scene. A SMART BUILT IN TUTOR Stuck on something? The in app tutor gives helpful hints based on exactly what is on your screen. It nudges you to think instead of handing over the answer, and it works across every subject. PROGRESS THAT KEEPS YOU GOING - Earn points and climb 22 space themed ranks, from Stardust to Singularity. - Compete on the leaderboard. - Unlock topics step by step and prove yourself with cumulative Mastery exams. PACKED WITH CONTENT Hundreds of interactive modules and thousands of questions across four subjects. - Physics. Forces, energy, electricity, light, waves, momentum, space and more. - Chemistry. Atoms, bonding, reactions, acids and bases, the mole, organic chemistry. - Biology. Cells, genetics, enzymes, the human body, ecology, evolution. - Maths. Algebra, geometry, trigonometry, coordinate geometry, sequences and more. WHO IT IS FOR Designed for students in grades 8 to 12 and anyone preparing for CBSE, IGCSE and similar science and maths courses. Great for self study, revision, and classroom use.
