Science Games and World Discovery for Kids
Zivaro science activities turn questions about the world into clear actions: observe, connect, test, compare, and see what changes after each choice.
In Zivaro Kids, the child does not just read a fact: he connects a circuit, operates a water and energy system, directs vehicles, places countries and regions, identifies animals and arranges events. This is how concepts in science, nature, geography and history become tasks that can be tried, changed and understood.

What does the child do in a scientific activity?
Each task sets a clear goal and returns a response immediately after the action.
Modifies a condition
Checks what happens when you change direction, component, speed or order of action.
Places and compares
Completes maps, identifies areas and compares places and living environments.
Arranges and explains
Builds a sequence, connects information to context and deduces what changed along the way.
The activities are not one long science lesson. Some are short and simple, and others require reading, planning and prior familiarity with the subject.
Seven tracks within the world of science and the environment
From the small system to the whole world
The division here helps the parent understand the type of experience. Within the app, each track includes activities at different levels and forms of play.
Electricity and circuits
Build analog and digital circuits, connect a battery, light bulb, switch and logic gates and watch the simulation change in real time.
Evolves: Cause and effect relationships and systems thinking.
Water and energy
Activate steps in the water cycle and renewable energy system, and understand how producers, consumers and flow connect into one system.
Evolves: Understanding sequence and dependencies between parts.
Forces, Space and Vehicles
Learn about the solar system, gravity and acceleration, and practice controlling a spacecraft or submarine in changing conditions.
Evolves: Predicting, planning and correcting action.
Maps, countries and sites
Assemble continents and countries, place regions within a country and learn about sites and monuments from different parts of the world.
Evolves: Spatial orientation and visual memory.
Nature and animals
Recognize animals by sight and sound, know facts and make connections between the animal and the place and environment where it lives.
Evolves: Observing, listening and sorting information.
Time, family and culture
Arrange stories by time, explore family ties, learn the story of Louis Braille, Roman numerals and music from around the world.
Evolves: Knowledge organization and context understanding.
Color, light and mixtures
Mix painting colors and light, test combinations and compare one visual result to another. This is an exploration of tangible change, not just a drawing lesson.
Evolves: Experimentation, discrimination and visual prediction.
This is how an activity becomes an investigation
Four repeating actions on different subjects
Watching
Identify the target, the parts and the initial state.
Predicts
Decide what might happen if we change a condition or order of action.
Trying
Perform an action and immediately see how the system reacts.
Compare
Check the result, correct and try another way when necessary.
It is important to know: A simulation allows you to test ideas safely, but is no substitute for a real experiment, a walk in nature, or a conversation with an adult. It gives the child a basis for questions and further exploration in the real world.
Questions about science games for children
Short answers before choosing an activity
Do you need prior knowledge of science?
Not for most activities. Children can begin with simple recognition, placement, and activation tasks. Electricity and digital-logic activities are better suited after basic familiarity and the ability to read the instructions.
Are all the activities suitable for all ages?
No. Some of the tasks are visual and simple, and others require reading, planning and understanding a system. Choose according to the ability and interest of the child and not just according to age.
Does simulation replace a real experiment?
No. It allows you to test connections and ideas safely, but it is recommended to connect what we learn to real experience, observation and conversation with an adult.
Do the electricity activities use real electricity?
No. The child builds and operates circuits in a simulation on the screen. No connection to components or real electrical voltage.
Do you need to know how to read English?
Many visual activities can be started after a short demonstration. Activities with information, questions or complex components require reading or accompanying by an adult.
How do you choose a first subject?
Start with an existing curiosity: animals, space, maps, water, colors or machines. Success in a familiar subject makes it easier to move to an adjacent track.
Can I repeat the same activity?
Yes. In another repetition the child can try a different order, improve control or check if he remembers a location, sequence and facts.
How long does an activity last?
Activity duration varies. There are short identification and matching tasks, as well as complex simulations and challenges that require more time and attempts.
Which devices can be played on?
Zivaro Kids is designed for Windows computers and Android tablets. In some tasks it is particularly convenient to use a large screen.
What is the role of the parent?
At the beginning of a new topic, you should explain the purpose and ask what the child thinks will happen. Then you can let him try it himself and talk about the result together.
Want to turn curiosity into action?
On the early access page you can read the conditions of joining and leave details. You can also go to the activity map and see how the world of science fits into the entire library.
