Starting with space: how an apple explains gravity

Why space as the first topic? Because almost every big idea in physics becomes visible there: gravity, orbits, day and night, light. And because children already look up at it in wonder.

Curiboo doesn't explain a definition of gravity. It asks a question: "What happens when you let this apple go?" The child guesses — and every guess is welcome. Then the apple falls, and the child sees it for themselves: everything falls down, always.

Mechanism over facts

After that the child gets to play: turn gravity up, throw something into the air, watch what changes. They don't memorise a word — they understand a mechanism. And that sticks.

After space, new worlds keep arriving: the body, technology, nature, numbers, music. One curious place for everything.
