The game casts players as the newest member of the titular character's research team. The objective is to become the greatest scientist in the world, outdoing the opposition in a series of competitions.
"With Science Papa, we’re taking real-world elements of science and giving players the chance to interact with them in safe and creative ways," said Activision's David Oxford.
"While the focus here is clearly family fun, the game can stimulate interest and discussion about science."
The game will feature motion and touch screen controls, used to conduct over 30 experiments, as well as repair damaged lab equipment.
The Wii version offers split-screen multiplayer, in which two players can go head-to-head to see who can complete each contest with the most precision.
Science Papa is released for Nintendo platforms in July.
