Merge Explorer - Science simulations & exploration

About Merge Explorer：

Merge Explorer is the official 3D and AR science-learning app by Merge EDU, built to make K-8 STEM concepts something students can see, hold, and explore. The Merge Explorer app is not a static textbook viewer — it turns abstract science into more than 100 interactive simulations students control with a smartphone, tablet, or Merge Cube.

Inside Merge Explorer, learners can hold a beating heart, inspect a great white shark, rotate the solar system, trigger a volcanic eruption, dissect a frog, and walk through the water cycle. The Merge Explorer app pairs digital objects with hands-on discovery, so complex lessons in biology, physics, chemistry, and astronomy become visual and tactile instead of memorized.

Store-ready features:

100+ interactive 3D/AR science simulations inside Merge Explorer

Merge Cube support to hold and manipulate digital models

Multiple interaction modes — 3D viewer, hand tracking, head look, cube mode

NGSS-aligned K-8 content across physical, life, and earth/space science

Built-in activities and quizzes for classroom or at-home learning

Labels and points of interest to explain each simulation

Multisensory learning through visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and tactile input

Library and collections to save and reuse favorite topics

Share by link or QR code for teachers and students

Cross-platform: Android, iOS, Chromebook, and Windows

How to Use Merge Explorer：

The Merge Explorer app runs on a discovery loop: open → find a topic → enter simulation → interact → quiz → share or save.

Quick guide:

Install Merge Explorer from Google Play or the App Store.

Open the Merge Explorer app and browse 100+ topic cards.

Search by keyword or scroll through science categories.

Tap a simulation — volcano, solar system, frog, heart, water cycle.

Explore the 3D model: rotate, zoom, and tap points of interest.

Toggle labels to learn structures and definitions.

Switch interaction modes — 3D viewer, hand, head, or Merge Cube.

Complete built-in activities and quizzes to check understanding.

Save simulations to your library or a custom collection.

Share content with students or classmates through link or QR code.

Tips:

Use Merge Cube mode for the most immersive lessons — Merge Explorer is designed around holding the model.

Teachers should pre-save topic cards into collections before class to avoid searching during lessons.

Keep device storage free; the Merge Explorer app is large because of high-quality 3D assets.
