Science Simulations 3
In the true spirit of scientific enquiry BBC Science simulations software provides a unique opportunity for primary learners to conduct a series of ‘virtual’ scientific experiments covering several key areas of the natural science curriculum. Each simulation provides learners 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. Several of the simulations also have a Multi-sim feature that allows learners to make direct comparisons by running two versions of a simulation concurrently.
