CROCODILE PHYSICS

Crocodile Physics
Crocodile Physics is like a well-stocked physics lab where you can experiment to 
your heart's content. Covering many syllabus topics, here is the hardware flattened for 
the small screen. There are masses, trolleys, lenses and electronic components to 
assemble, experiment and take measurements with. You can swing pendulums, change 
gravity, change angle of ramps to learn about forces. Excellent are the optics tools
which 
let you split light into its colours with a prism and see how fibre optics transmit
light. A 
section on eye defects, where you increase the focal length of a spectacle lens and see 
what that does to the light rays will make an awesome teaching tool. Though it comes 
with worksheets, those with time to spare can use it to create impressive interactive 
tutorials. 
Crocodile Physics has been developed from Crocodile Clips 3, the acclaimed 
High School Physics simulator used in over 35 countries and recommended by 
governments worldwide. It's a simulator for Middle and High school and college physics 
courses.
Crocodile Physics includes a powerful optics simulator, with a range of 
components including lenses, prisms, mirrors and light sources.You can set the 
wavelength of the light being emitted from your source, and choose parallel beams, 
diverging beams or rays. You can also set the dimensions of the source.
Crocodile Physics contains a full range of electrical components. Every school 
subject area is covered: from the basic batteries, bulbs and switches - which are also 
given in pictorial form, to help understanding of the first principles - to more advanced

logic gates, integrated circuits and semiconductors. 
A vast component library gives you the freedom to experiment in a way that suits 
your teaching, and allows interested students to explore the subject more deeply. One of

the key features which marks Crocodile Physics out from other teaching software is the 
Integrated Multimedia Editor. This allows you to alter our activities to suit your needs,
or 
to write your own from scratch. 
The simulation is mathematically accurate, allowing you to test designs and 
explore the laws of Physics. Most component values can be changed at will. Crocodile 
Physics comes complete with over 100 interactive on-screen lessons, covering a range of 
subjects in electricity, electronics, optics, mechanics, dynamics and sound. They combine

full simulation with information, questions and answers. It's easy to integrate them into
