 Fun, but old fashion characters.Nov 17, 2009
I think this is a great source of knowledge for kids, however my son gets bored easily with it, of course 11 year olds get bored soon when the game is not interesting, and that seems to be the case, the characters should be a little more interesting, but overall, at least 20 minutes of playing with it, is a good way for your child not to waste time watching TV.
 holding the child's interestSep 19, 2009
I purchased this jumpstart 6th grade cd the summer before school started. Came in the mail and installed it in the laptop . My daughter seemed to have an immediate interest in the subject matter- we began going over science subjects.. I rememeber her finding interest in the geology questions like type of rocks.
Many of the questions had me guessing - guess a loss of memory is to blame.. and some of the questions seemed to be above a 6th grader's mindset - like names of chemical bonds.
The software's interface was about a 3 out of 5 stars. The reason for this is because the user has to manuever an object over a location on the screen and drop - cant remember what it was- something... The program then starts a new set of question and answer table, but only only 1 at a time - so one has to do this manuevering everytime for a new question to appear. I'm not sure if the entire cd is like this or if it was just in the science section.
A complaint i had to my daugther about the software was when a correct answer was chosen the original question text would immiedialtly disapear - not allowing one to reread the question and correct answer. The software needs a simple time delay of some sort to allow the user to re-read the original question/correct answer combo.
We had fun using the software and we seemed to learn much during or short time using it.
