This app is for all junior geologists.

***** Children's Technology Review Editor's Choice *****

The Earth is an interactive model that lets kids study geology and ecology. Kids explore and play with the geological forces that change the Earth—above and below the surface, in minutes and over millions of years. Kids can also learn about conservation as they test clean energy sources, clean up beaches, and preserve forests.

The Earth is No. 5 in Tinybop’s Explorer’s Library. Each Explorer’s Library app lets kids explore the invisible and awesome wonders of STEM. Kids (and kids at heart!) develop foundational science literacy.

"This is a great way to let children informally and playfully discover some of the big ideas they’ll encounter later on in their school curriculum. Apps like this one are good reminders for why you spent hundreds of dollars on a phone or tablet for your child." — Warren Buckleitner, editor, Children's Technology Review

Editors’ Notes

Part digital toy and part planetary handbook, The Earth gives kids insight into the workings of our world in a way that’s delightfully intuitive and fun. From rockslides to earthquakes to erupting volcanoes, these artful interactive dioramas respond to tapping and swiping with results that are both whimsical and educational. An accompanying guide for parents and teachers delves into the technical science behind all these phenomena, but kids can explore, experiment, and absorb earthly knowledge at their own pace.

Very fun but one thing that I don’t understand

So the game is super fun but in the age of earth how do you swipe to even go back in time? And the rest is to complicated

Amazing interactive app

We absolutely LOVE this app in our family... and I mean the whole family loves it. I originally bought it because my daughter wanted to know more about volcanoes, but we are so far past that now. She has been playing with it every day for over a month and is still discovering new layers and things that it does. As a parent, I love the fact that it’s strictly science-based (no cartoons or characters or “kid stuff” which is usually irritating after ta while) and all the sound effects serve a purpose. Planning to buy more Tinybop apps in the near future. Well worth the money!!
