30 questionsScience quizzes that reward curiosity rather than revision
Most science quizzes are school tests with the marking removed. The questions come from a syllabus, the answers are things you either memorised once or did not, and getting one wrong tells you nothing except that you have forgotten it.
These rounds are built from a different starting point: the things about the physical world that are genuinely surprising, and that stick once you know them. Why something floats, what is actually happening when water boils, how big the difference between a million and a billion really is. They are answerable by reasoning as often as by recall, which makes a wrong answer interesting rather than just wrong.
Coverage runs across physics, biology, chemistry, astronomy and the parts of technology that have settled down enough to have stable answers. There is a separate maths round for arithmetic and number sense, and an animals round that works for younger players, since the natural world is where most people's science curiosity actually starts.
The easy and medium rounds differ in how much you are expected to already know rather than in how obscure the questions are. Nothing here requires a qualification, and each session draws a random set from a larger bank.
Questions
Do I need to have studied science to play?
No. The questions are drawn from things you encounter rather than from a syllabus, and many are answerable by reasoning rather than recall.
What age are these suitable for?
The animals and fun-facts rounds work from around age eight. The general science rounds suit roughly eleven upward, though the easy set is approachable earlier.
Is there a maths quiz?
Yes, there is a separate maths round covering arithmetic and number sense. If you want timed practice rather than trivia, the math games are a better fit than a quiz.
How current are the technology questions?
The tech round sticks to concepts and history that have settled rather than to current products, so the answers do not go stale between visits.
