Review Become A Science Explorer / Avanquest Software:Become a Science Explorer is another excellent CD-ROM from Dorling Kindersley aimed at children aged 6-10 years old. Children will love the challenge of going on a mission and trying to become a Science Explorer. Fizz, the helpful ball of energy, guides children around the different environments where children can carry out activities, answer questions or look at information screens. The graphics are excellent and there is a wealth of scientific information for children to find out in a variety of interesting ways. Children's learning is also cleverly extended when they're given further explanations once they have answered a question. Children are rewarded with prizes, badges, stickers, rosettes, medals and the ultimate prize of becoming a Science Explorer. They can use their Science Workbook to make scientific observations, answer questions and collect stickers-guaranteed to turn any child into a budding scientist. There is a range of science experiments that can be printed out and undertaken. These would be ideal for parents to go through with younger children using the comprehensive parents' guide. There are also some very good worksheets, which would help to consolidate children's learning. [+]Become a Science Explorer is a fantastic CD-ROM that really supports the science curriculum in schools. This would be an excellent buy for parents or teachers of children aged 6-10 years old. -Amanda York Science made simple! - Written in simple language which is easily understood by younger children. Topics such as heat, sound, forces, electricity, living things, materials and simple machines are covered with inspired graphics. Windows 95/98/XP.

Review Smart Kids Touring The Planets Science Experiments / Montparnasse Multimedia:Touring the Planets, which is aimed at children aged 8 and up, introduces some of the key principles of science. It presents more than 100 questions, the answers to which have to be discovered through point-and-click experiments and reading texts. There are various ways to get into the CD-ROM. You can choose one of the Smart Kids to act as a guide to questions grouped by theme-Sylvester specialises in mechanics, Maria's experiments are tied into the theme of exploration, Elvis is interested in light and sound, and so on. Alternatively, you can choose the Wizard, an option that lets you pick any experiment, or use the search tool to find something specific. Whichever you choose, each experiment is introduced by a question presented on a bright colourful screen. Click around the various icons and images and you get to the associated experiment and text. You can go further by reading fact sheets that talk about the past and future of science. There is an area where you can contribute your own written and drawn material, and access yet more experiments, this time to do away from the computer-there's even a special place you can file experiments you would like to get back to again quickly. Touring the Planets is very well put together. [+]Imaginatively designed, there is enough here for younger users to browse through without getting bored or feeling lectured at. Parents might want to peruse the CD on their own, though, so they can help youngsters navigate to areas they might otherwise miss. -Sandra Vogel.

Review 3D World Atlas / Avanquest Software:Travel has never been more popular. Yet no matter how many footloose gap-year students stream to the corners of the globe, armchair travel probably remains almost as popular. Dorling Kindersley's 3D World Atlas is a new CD-ROM package firmly in the armchair bracket, giving in-depth coverage of every country in the world-from maps, through demographic statistics to information on geographical phenomena. Why move from the sofa when you can (virtually) experience the world in your living room? 3D World Atlas includes the range of features you would expect from a printed atlas and more. The general world maps are set to an optimal scale, allowing different levels of focus, and there are also the physical maps to view. However, the most striking aspect of this package is its unusual features, particularly those that come from space. The two satellite image-projections of the earth are revealing. First comes the ordinary view of the earth's physical features from the heavens-yes, you really can pick out the Great Wall of China-and then an image of the earth by night, showing all the lights around the world: it's a sparkly and revealing picture of the spread of economic development across the planet. Add to this brilliant photography of deserts, mountains and jungles in the bio-climate zones and the package transcends the limitations of traditional atlases. -Toby Green.
