Kevin prepares for his test by first learning about lab safety. Next, Marko introduces Kevin to his friend Lumina, an animated light bulb. Lumina shows Kevin how to remember the 6 steps of the scientific method: Question, Gather, Hypothesize, Experiment, Conclude, and Report. Next comes the Matter Learning Center to gain an understanding of atoms, the particles of an atom, molecules, and states of matter. Kevin also explores the properties of matter that include melting point, boiling point, conductivity, luster, color, odor, density, hardness, magnetism, and texture. He discovers the differences between physical changes and chemical changes and mixtures versus pure substances. Surprise! Kevin's chair blasts off to the Electricity Learning Center to learn about electric circuits and how opposite electric charges attract each other. Kevin and Marko then move on to the Magnetism Learning Center where Marko's friend Terra, an animated globe, helps Kevin understand the poles of a magnet and build a simple electromagnet. Kevin and his friends visit the Motion and Gravity Center to learn about gravity, mass, distance between objects, velocity, acceleration, inertia, friction, and resistance. At last, everyone explores the Energy Learning Center to learn the different forms of energy, including heat, electrical, sound, chemical, mechanical, and light.
