BBC Science Simulations Bundle (set of 3)
BBC Science Simulations Bundle (set of 3) programs provides a unique opportunity for young students to explore virtual science investigations on a wide variety of elementary science topics. It is perfect for whole class instruction using a whiteboard, and lets students predict, carry out and evaluate investigations, and interpret simple data. Covers using electricity, changing materials, growing plants, force and movement, exercise and health, food chains, light and dark, sun and shadows, electrical circuits and conductors, thermal insulation, forces and friction, changing states, food webs, and electrical circuits.
BBC Science Simulations allows students to conduct real life science experiments on the computer screen. Grow plants, build electric circuits, or explore friction. Manipulate the variables on each experiment, then watch the simulation come to life through colorful computer animation! Each activity poses scientific questions to prompt student experimentation. BBC Science Simulations also introduces students to the basics of data collection and graphing as each experiment is performed.
BBC Science Simulation 3 CD set provides hundreds of different experiments to conduct. Select variables, control time, view animated results, or generate graphs. Run two versions of the same simulation in parallel, then compare the results. Each CD covers similar subjects but with an increasing number of variables to change on each simulation creating a more challenging environment with each increasing CD.
