Discover the world of abstract physics phenomena such as light, sound, and heat like never before with Thames & Kosmos' Sensors Alive Bring Physics to Life, a highly innovative gamified sensor physics lab. At its heart is an app - based video game where you use real - world sensor data from your surroundings to create a vast array of unique creatures. In the game's pretend bioengineering lab, kids step into the shoes of scientists. They collect readings from three physical sensor pods outside the game and transfer them to the game via the base station. The sensor data determines the attributes of your bioengineered creatures. For example, a low - temperature reading might result in a long - haired creature, while a high - light level could give a creature small eyes. You can control additional attributes in the app, leading to countless creature combinations. Keep using the sensors to care for your creatures, feed them, and create habitats. As you do so, you'll gain hands - on experience in measuring light, volume, and temperature and learn the physics behind them. The kit includes three sensor pods, a base station, an app, and a quick - start poster. It requires a tablet or smartphone running recent iOS or Android versions and is recommended for ages 8 and up.

To use this product, first, make sure your tablet or smartphone is running a recent version of iOS or Android. Set up the base station and connect the three sensor pods to it. Launch the app and start exploring the pretend bioengineering lab in the game. Use the sensor pods to collect real - world data like light levels, volumes, and temperatures. Transfer this data to the game through the base station and watch as it determines the attributes of your bioengineered creatures. You can then take care of your creatures, feed them, and create habitats for them. Remember to handle the sensor pods gently as they are delicate. If the app has any issues, try restarting your device. To keep the product in good condition, store it in a dry and cool place when not in use. Have fun learning physics while playing with your amazing creatures!
