Explorify
Explorify uses images, video and open questions to start conversations about science.
Formats include picking an odd one out and studying a zoomed-in picture before the full view appears, with children explaining what they notice rather than guessing one right word. Topics include materials, light and sound, and an at-home sound collection suggests making an instrument orchestra together. A single prompt, with everyone giving their reasons, can fill a whole session.
