BBC Science Simulations 1

Publisher: Riverdeep/Houghton Mifflin
Format: Mac OS X/Win CD
Grade: K-2

BBC Science Simulations 1

BBC Science Simulations 1 provides a unique opportunity for children to explore seven "virtual" science investigations.  The simulations include making plants grow, exercise, building electrical circuits and more.  This program is perfect for whole class instruction using a whiteboard and provides an excellent opportunity for students to predict, carry out, and evaluate investigations with the additional benefit of being able to simply reset them and start again.

BBC Science Simulations 2

Publisher: Riverdeep/Houghton Mifflin
Format: Mac OS X/Win CD
Grade: 1-4

BBC Science Simulations 2

BBC Science Simulations 2 provides exciting opportunities for early elementary students to interact with seven virtual science investigations.  Within minutes, students can observe how shadows change over the course of a day, investigate which of four materials is the best thermal insulator, and much more.

BBC Science Simulations 3

Publisher: Riverdeep/Houghton Mifflin
Format: Mac OS X/Win CD
Grade: 3-6

BBC Science Simulations 3

BBC Science Simulations 3 was designed to enhance science investigation skills for upper elementary students.  Virtual experiments exploring varying topics such as plant growth and electrical circuits allow teachers and students to experience a wide range of phenomena in ways and at speeds that would be difficult to achieve in the classroom.

BBC Science Simulations Bundle (set of 3)

Publisher: Riverdeep/Houghton Mifflin
Format: Mac OS X/Win CD
Grade: K-6

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.
