Algodoo for Education is easy to use and easy to learn! Browse, load and create lessons from within Algodoo or examine your scenes with graphs and visualization of forces, velocities and momentum. This fully interactive software allows children and students to benefit from the most effective method of learning – that of “learning by doing”.
For exploring and analysing
Algodoo for Education comes with an abundance of tools for experimenting, analyzing and educating in science.
- Request Plots to demonstrate exact changes in values and events in your scene
- View force arrows to help students understand friction, force, velocity, momentum and gravity’s effects on the things around us.
- Enhanced visualization with X/Y components for deeper analysis.
- Create, save and share your own lessons either for your own personal use or for putting in the library for all Algodoo users to see and benefit from.
- View built-in lessons as well as those that other teachers have created and shared. Adapt them to suit your lesson requirements and complexity level. This saves time in lesson preparation as well as reduces the requirement for being an Algodoo expert in order to benefit from the program.
For teaching and learning
Algodoo for Education covers a huge variety of topics within the physics curriculum that are easier for students to comprehend with the aid of simulation.
- Learn and teach about Newtons law, kinematics, energy conservation, collisions, rotation, torque, angular momentum, fluids, optics, refraction and much, much more.
- Motivate and increase your students interest in science.
- Students themselves can “play” with the parameters and see the immediate results of their interaction.
For quick and easy start up
Algodoo comes with built-in tutorials which step-by-step introduce you to all the tools and main functions. In the Algodoo for Education software you can also view a quick guide as to how to create and save your own lessons. Getting started is made even easier. If you want additional training and tips then watch some of the many videos and webinars that exist from links within Algodoo.
