They are mammals… They live in a forest habitat… They are called cubs when they are babies… They leave large tracks in almost any surface; their tracks are as large as an adult man's footprint and show imprints of all 5 toes and claws…

What are they?

• Giant anteaters
• American bullfrogs
• Fallow deer
• Grizzly bears
• Eastern gray squirrels
• African black rhinoceroses

(Answer at the bottom of the post)

If you could solve that mystery, then you should check out our latest mobile app – What’s Sid Thinking: Science for Apple iOS devices like iPhones, iPod Touches, and iPads.

Here’s what you need to know about it:

It’s free! It’s our latest app in the Sid series (I did a post a few weeks back about What’s Sid Thinking: History).

It’s for students grades 2-9, but we’ve seen first graders playing it with their parents too.

You can help Sid with several different topics:

• It comes loaded with a pack on Land Animals (like the clues above).
• You can download a pack on objects in the Solar System (planets, comets, moons) for just $0.99.
• We’re planning on adding packs on Weather (wind, cloud types, measuring instruments) and Sea Animals (dolphins, crabs, coral) soon too.
• It has dozens of topics and hundreds of randomized clues per pack – each time you play is different!
• There’s a world-wide leaderboard for you to show your science knowledge chops.

Give it a shot - download What’s Sid Thinking: Science today. As always, if you have suggestions on Sid or any of our other apps, please send them to us at mobile@k12.com.

And, in case you were wondering, those clues at the top add up to…Grizzly bears!
