What Tappity Science is
Tappity Science offers interactive science lessons and courses for children, with material designed for grades K–5 and home or homeschool learning.

Course options include grade-level and interest-based content; the site also lists guided lessons, simulations, and assessment tools. Parent features include guides, planning tools, progress tracking, and updates. Tappity lists unlimited child profiles and says it adds new content each month.
