iBiome-Ocean 5.0

Aimed at young nature enthusiasts, iBiome-Ocean offers an engaging way for children to delve into ecosystems, food webs, and the impact of human activities on the environment.

In the app, kids can interact with food webs, discerning the roles of different plants and animals within the chain. Through manipulating predators, prey, consumers, and producers, they can observe the ripple effects within the food web.

For a trial experience, users can download the complimentary lite version before making a purchase.

Acclaimed with the Parents' Choice Gold Award and the gold medal from Mom’s Choice Awards, iBiome-Ocean has been lauded for its educational value:

“This app invites many return visits in which enthusiastic young marine biologists continue to learn more about their favorite species.” – Parents’ Choice Gold Award

“iBiome-Ocean allowed my students to discover how food chains and webs work because they could manipulate them using what they read in their science textbooks. I have taught for 38 years, and this is one of the best products to teach ecology that I have used. It teaches students the phenomena of real-life food webs.” – Gr.6 science teacher from California US

“The iBiome games bring the science curriculum to life! Building food chains and observing changes in food chains as species are added to each dome really helped my students understand ecosystem interactions…The iBiome games are a fun addition to my science classroom.” – Gr.3 science teacher from Ontario Canada

iBiome-Ocean is a follow-up to the award-winning iBiome-Wetland app. The iBiomes series aims to foster scientific literacy and critical thinking among children by encouraging curiosity, experimentation, and observation within different biomes.

The app prompts discussions around science topics and advocates for ocean conservation by addressing issues like plastic pollution, overfishing, and ocean acidification.

Main features include:

• Explore diverse ecosystems like coral reefs, tide pools, kelp beds, and open seas.
• Learn about various oceanic species like whales, dolphins, sharks, and corals within each environment.
• Receive educational insights about unlocked species through Professor Bio's fun facts and real-life images.
• Interact with 62 sea creatures across 11 categories while understanding their ecological niches in food webs.
• Engage in ecosystem simulations by adjusting species numbers and observing the repercussions on other organisms.
• Reflect on human influences by altering factors like car production or single-use plastics and observing their impact on the ocean.
• Ponder environmental responsibility by considering actions to reduce consumption patterns and carbon footprints.
• Access the 'Parents Corner' featuring child-friendly educational resources from reputable sources like NOAA.
