· Arloon Chemistry: introduces chemistry in an original and innovative way, using an interactive method for learning to formulate and name the chemicals.
· Arloon Anatomy: see the human body like never before thanks to augmented reality. Children and teachers can select each organ, flip it, and discover curiosities, travel virtually, seeing them from all perspectives.
· Arloon Geometry: explore geometric bodies from all perspectives and watch their faces displayed on flat figures. Geometry combines conceptual content (definitions, features) with procedural content (application of formulas and calculation).
· Arloon Solar System: discover celestial bodies that are part of our planetary system with your own fingertips, combining realistic 3D representations with texts adapted to primary education.
· Arloon Plants: an app to learn all the details about the life cycle of plants, their parts and species. Investigate how ecosystems adapt to the seasons to survive and many curiosities that will surprise all children.
· La Liebre y la Tortuga: a new way to read stories. Enables the child to color the characters, turn on the camera and make them appear in 3D thanks to Augmented Reality. The child can interact with them and listen to the narration of the story with voices in Spanish and English.
