• Helps produce high-quality coursework
  
  
• Real world experiments with multiple variables
  
  
• Full reference material and tables
  
  
• Relieves time and equipment pressures
  
  
• Exceptional value for money
  
  
• Unlimited use across the whole school/college
  
  

Presented with fully-functioning computer model experiments, pupils can practice some of the skills required for National Curriculum SC1 investigations, such as planning an experiment, making predictions and processing data.

The program, which covers the basics of physics, chemistry and biology, approximates actual experimental data and contains built in 'experimental error'. The software can be used to provide some background information before pupils undertake an investigation for themselves, as a practice investigation to support the teaching and learning aspects of GCSE SC1 requirements or to provide additional information to support a previous investigation.

The program does not require specialist IT staff support.

Each topic has an on-screen 'worksheet' that provides a set of instructions prompting the student by asking a series of questions. There are links within these topics to related areas where the same approach has been adopted.

The entire package is structured to allow pupils to plan, predict and process and can also be used as a practice (over and over again if required) before a 'live' experiment.
