BBC Science Simulations 1
Kindergarten - Grade 2
Were you ever curious if a plant would grow if it were never exposed
to light? Or how about what would happen in the food chain if there
were no predators? Well you can explore this and more! Each
simulation provides pupils ages 5 to 7 years with the opportunity to
select variables, control time and view the results of their
experiments as animations and/or dynamically generated tables and
graphs that chart the results of each combination of variables over
time. 7 interactive simulations are provided each with dynamically
generated tables and graphs, including Exercise and Health, Plants and Growth,
Food Chains, Changing Materials, Using Electricity, Forces and Movement,
and Light and Dark.

Branch
Grades K-13, Inclusion
Students are encouraged to sort and classify information as they
formulate "yes" or "no" questions to divide and subdivide
information. Banks of words, pictures and sounds make the program
fun and imaginative. Simple mouse clicks add information to the
database, and easy steps lead users to categorize entered data. The
result is a logical structure that can be saved or printed out for
projects, bulletin boards, and work away from the computer. Zoom in
and out, view work as a map, or edit questions through a clearly
designed tool bar. Students have full control over their branching
databases. An inspiring tool for any academic subject.

of minutes. This is an incredible program for making a photo album,
collecting science data, building an address book, or making a
cookbook. There's a fantastic graphing feature that lets you build
three dimensional charts and graphs, with colorful backgrounds.
Extensive search and sorting capabilities give you the power to
quickly wrangle large amounts of information with ease. Any database
can be viewed as a list or spreadsheet to quickly show all the
records at once.
Database supports a wide range of file formats, making
it ideal for use with a digital camera, scanner, or any clip art.
The program is fully configurable for any age level or learning
