fun facts, nice graphics, though no ideas
Perhaps my sights are too high for cd-roms, but I would hope that they might teach kids to think more than merely entertain them with well-presented facts. Indeed, my daughter is becoming quite a reader of kids' science literature, which I think is definitely far better than this kind of software. While there are puzzles, this is largely a passive experience of clicking - with little cost if you guess wrong - and mini-movies and things to print. It passes the time, but teaches very little. Can't the producers introduce some notions, such as evolution, ecology, etc?

Recommended as enterainment that can be construed as learning - if you stretch it.

Great program compatability issues
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.

XP Compatible
I go with three stars only because my child has not really gotten into this software, only perhaps for one and a half hours. So...why a review? Only in fairness. One of your reviews stated this software is not XP compatible but it is on our machine.

BEWARE--Not Windows XP compatible
The box says it's compatible with Windows XP, but it's NOT!
DON'T buy this if you have Windows ...

If All Science Could Be This Fun
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. ... Read more

What's the point of this again?
Found it crude, static, dull, dryly factual, wordy, drone-ish. What's the point when it seems so much like homework? Only worth it if you're already fanatical about animals, otherwise it just doesn't inspire. I would guess most would get more out of a well-made wildlife documentary.

They have learned an amazing amount about animals by playing photo safari, picture scrambler and matching mommy-baby animal pairs -- then earning the right to take the "animal expert quiz." It's the best of fun and education! ... Read more
