The back of your van is the place to view the science cards you have collected. Some contain videos while others are cards that suggest ideas for activities. You will need to place the cards in the correct group before they can be viewed or read. If you collect more than one copy of one of the cards you can swap it with the computer for another one. Click on either the van or on the back of the van icon at the top of the screen to enter.
Driving the Van
The van is moved along the road using the arrow keys. You will come across the games as you drive around the island and you will be given the option of playing the game or carrying on. When you stop at one of the three garages, you can customize your van by changing its colour and adding patterns, noisy horns and new wheels. Clicking on the Gosodiadau (Settings) button gives you the option to switch the map and the music on and off.
Sorting Cards
Enter the back of the van to look at the cards you have collected. Everyone is given five cards when they start. Click on the middle screen to sort the newly collected cards. New cards will be sent to the sorting screen on the left and duplicates will be sent to the swapping screen on the right.
In the sorting screen place each new card in the correct group.
