Item Description:
BBC Science Simulations 3 CD Set was developed in association with the BBC Science Clips TV series. Watch virtual science experiments come to life with BBC Science Simulation's 3 CD set. Each CD caters to a different age level, with each increasing level providing more variables and ways to manipulate the 7 provided simulations. This set will keep kids engaged for hours!
BBC Science Simulations (1-3 set) was designed to enhance science investigation skills for elementary students. Virtual experiments exploring varying topics such from plant growth to electical circuits provide teachers and students the chance to experience a wide range of phenomena in ways and at speeds that would be difficult to achieve in the classroom.
The "Questions" portion of the software includes ideas for exploration. Students can manipulate a variety of variables and instantly observe their effects. Students can access graphs and tables to clarify the results which provides a focus for interpretation and scientific explanation. Students can make direct comparisons by viewing two investigations simultaneously using the multi-simulation feature.
