Product information
ScienceMania offers stunningly motivating maze-worlds such as School World, Industrial World, Scally's World and Blocko World. Pupils win points, clear obstacles and outwit other players by correctly answering multiple-choice revision questions on four topics: Scientific Enquiry, Life Processes & Living Things, Materials & their Properties and Physical Processes.

With enough points to exit a maze, pupils can tackle another or test their Science skills in one of six puzzles: Feel the Force (forces and physics), Laser Lab (angles and properties of light), Mixture Magic (separating mixtures), Living Pinball (investigation and classification), Thingamajig (identifying equipment) and Short Circuit (light bulbs and batteries).

Pupils’ work is tracked, worksheets can be printed, further question sets can be added to the computer-generated ones and pupils can even compare their progress on the ScienceMania ‘High Scores’ table.

Easy-to-use ‘Options’ are at hand to set difficulty levels by year group, points required to exit mazes, puzzle availability, time limits and to choose whether the software will help just one player revise or multi-players across a network or via the Internet.
