There are so many great science games out there, and Science Explosion is perfect for younger students. Science Explosion provides a nice, broad overview of a variety of different scientific topics.

If your kids love Math Explosion, then theyâll also probably love Science Explosion. Some of my complaints of Science Explosion are the same as for Math Explosion – the game is made just as cheaply as its sibling, and the volcano is just as hard to store.
A point in this gameâs favor – when my son saw me taking pictures of it, he said he didnât want to sell it. (Iâd started with games my kids had already outgrown, so theyâre still thinking that if a game makes it onto the blog, it means itâs finding a new home soon.) So, thereâs that – heâs 8 and still wants to play the game.
How to play Science Explosion
Like Math Explosion, there are two sides to Science Explosion’s board. âGame Bâ is supposed to be longer, so I think my family (at this time) has only played Game A. But Game A seems really long, too. Weâll have to try it both ways and update this post to let you know.
I do like the categories and topic cards. They’re a nice, general introduction to the various bits of science, or maybe a nice review.
Again, Science Explosion is another game I was happy to pick up cheaply. I wouldnât pay full price for it, especially after paying full price for Math Explosion, but Iâm happy to give it a spot on our shelf for a bit longer.
