My Home Lab: Science at Home

An egg that floats. A flower that changes color. A balloon that blows itself up.
My Home Lab walks you and your child through 30 hands-on science experiments, one step at a time, with things you already have at home. The experiments are built into the app, so once you have the supplies you can start right away.

WHO IT IS FOR
• Parents looking for a weekend activity with their kids
• Kids who want to try the science they read about
• Students looking for a project or vacation idea
• Grown-ups who want to feed a child's curiosity at home

WHAT'S INSIDE
30 experiments across 6 topics: Matter, Plants, Air, Light & Sound, Force & Motion, Earth & Space.
• Matter: The Floating Egg, a self-inflating balloon, shiny crystals, a floating paper clip, a paper boat, pH color change, a volcano, a rainbow density tower, strawberry DNA extraction, a blood-type model
• Plants: a flower that changes color, how water moves through a plant
• Air: paper helicopter, the Bernoulli principle, mini hot-air balloon, balloon rocket, mini hovercraft
• Light & Sound: an optical-illusion spinning top, a hidden picture with lemon, shadow play, a rainbow in a soap bubble, cup telephone, a simple spectroscope
• Force & Motion: a shaking earthquake test, magnet play, building an electric circuit, moving paper with static electricity
• Earth & Space: where did the water go, a solar cooker, a mini greenhouse model
Expected time and difficulty are shown before you begin, so it is easy to pick what fits today.

TWO AGE GROUPS
• Ages 6-9: short steps and big text
• Ages 10-12: enter measurements and read more about the science behind it
The same experiment changes its sentence length and record fields when you switch groups.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Pick an experiment and see the supply list
2. Tick off every supply to unlock the start button
3. Follow one step per screen
4. Choose what you really saw
5. Write a journal entry and earn a star

SAFE, WITH A GROWN-UP
• Steps that need adult hands, such as scissors, poking holes or warm water, need a grown-up to press and hold for 3 seconds. A quick tap will not move on
• Experiments that use materials such as alcohol stay locked until a grown-up unlocks them in the parents' menu
• Every experiment shows its safety level: Take care, Grown-up check or Grown-up only
• The app reminds kids not to eat the supplies and to wash their hands afterwards
The safety features are a helper, not a replacement. Please always do the experiments together with a grown-up.

A DIFFERENT RESULT IS FINE
• Science does not always match the book. If it turned out differently, the app explains why and lets you try again
• Long experiments, such as ones left overnight, send a reminder when it is time to observe

YOUR EXPERIMENT JOURNAL
• Write down what happened and what you learned, and attach a photo from the camera or gallery
• Share a journal card with family. The card has no field for a name or a school
• Nothing is shared unless you tap Share yourself

STARS AND BADGES
• Earn stars for every finished experiment and open a reward box as they add up
• Collect 12 badges: First Experiment, Explorer, Lab Master, Observer, Curious Mind, Grit, and one for each of the 6 topics
• Clear goals such as finishing 5 or 15 experiments or writing 10 journal entries with photos make it fun to choose the next one
• Collect profile stickers too

PRIVACY AND ADS
• No account and no sign-in. Everything is stored on your device only and never sent to our server
• Ads appear only as a bottom banner on the Home, Experiments and Journal screens and as one interstitial per session on the completion screen
• No ads on the screen where a child runs an experiment, and none in the parents' menu. No ads during the first 72 hours after installation
• No in-app purchases
• Ad requests use child-directed treatment and a General audience content rating
