Sproutnicks

Sproutnicks is a small library of short science episodes for young learners. Each one starts with a question a child would actually ask, and four presenters (Kenji, Leo, Mia and Chloe) work it out with one experiment.

Every topic is a path of six parts:

Intro. One of the four asks the question.
Watch. A one-minute episode answering it.
Quiz. Five picture questions with spoken prompts. A wrong answer is tried again, never marked.
Give me Three. Three facts, one at a time, read aloud.
Certificate. Earned when the path is walked, and a parent can save or share it.
Activities. A colouring page and a nine-piece jigsaw drawn from the episode.

Sixteen topics across five areas, and more arriving:

Earth & Sky - Seasons, Wind, Water Cycle
Forces & Motion - Gravity, Balance, Bounce
Living Things - Capillary Action, Animal Ears, Heartbeat
Matter - Density, Water's Skin, and Ice, Water, Steam
Energy & Waves - Hidden Rainbow, Shadows, Magnets, Static Electricity

Made for families:
No ads, ever. Nothing is sold to your child inside an episode.
No microphone or camera. No chat, no links out.
Settings and purchases sit behind a grown-up gate.
A child profile is a character and a colour. We never ask a child's name, age or birthday.
A weekly progress report in the Parent Corner shows what they watched and what they worked out.
Works as a guest, with nothing that identifies your child stored off the device.
An optional parent account keeps progress across devices.

Seasons is free. A subscription opens every other topic, plus each new one as it arrives, for $4.99 a month or $44.99 a year. Cancel any time from your App Store account.
