WobbleForge

The phone as a measuring instrument, and every number from the world comes with a wobble. Time a pendulum three times and see the spread: does a heavier weight change the swing? Does a longer string? Then measure a tree's height with paces and tilt. Predict, measure three times, read the spread, say what you found.

Meet your mentor

Every Spark & Anvil app has a friendly mentor character that demonstrates, asks, and patiently scaffolds learning.

Meet the cast

WobbleForge's measurers know a number from the world is never exact. Wobbly measures everything three times, Swingle times the pendulum, Tiltwhit sights the treetop, and Spreadle says how far apart the readings are.

Wobbly portrait

Wobbly

measures three times, because one reading could be a fluke

Swingle portrait

Swingle

A gibbon who swings - times ten swings, not one, so a slow thumb matters less

Tiltwhit portrait

Tiltwhit

A giraffe who sights the treetop - distance and tilt together give the height

Spreadle portrait

Spreadle

An owl who compares - a difference smaller than the spread is not a real difference
