REACTIONS:

We thoroughly enjoyed playing School House Rock! Exploration Station. I like that there are demos to show kids what to do, and that they develop thinking skills and learn about scientific processes. My kids just said it is lots of fun. We also appreciated the on-line feature - being able to download additional game questions from the Creative Wonders website. If your children should become tired of the games and activities, (I can't imagine that they would!) there's a second CD-ROM included with additional School House Rock activities, videos, and songs.
