E-15) ELECTRO. Electronics fascinates bright students of all ages from eight to eighty
and older; and it also offers a career in which a lot of money can be earned.
Many students never get there
because of one specific reason:
a lack of understanding of Ohm 's
Law and its corollaries.
ELECTRO aims to instil these fundamental
electronic principles
dramatically and with a sense of humour.
E-38) PHYSICS. Aims at inculcating a knowledge of BOYLE'S LAW on the
relationshlp between pressure and volume in gases. The program can be
run either in demonstration mode or interactively.
E-39) PHYSICS2. Guides the student towards a clear understanding of
CHARLES' LAW, concerning the relationship between temperature and volume
in gases. The program can be operated either interactively or in
demonstration mode - whichever best suits the user's needs.
E-42) PHYSICS3. Explores the relationships between force, work, heat,
specific heat, and temperature, through a very large number of problems
of three different types, which the program generates at random.
E-43) PHYSICS4. This is a program on SOUND. Through a wide range of
sound-related physics problems, it teaches the connections between wave-length,
frequency, medium and velocity. Like all the programs on this disc, PHYSICS4
can be operated either interactively or in demonstration mode, as the user
prefers.
E-44) PHYSICS5. Often, beginners in Physics find expressions of acceleration
and velocity difficult to correlate. This program investigates the
relationships between acceleration, velocity, time and distance in simple
mathematical terms that most students can quickly learn to handle.
E-45) PHYSICS6. One area which many beginners in Physics find complex is
that involving the often apparently tortuous connections between power,
work, time, velocity, force and distance. This program aims to remove the
mystery from this area and to reduce the matter to essentially simple terms
which students can readily understand.
E-49) MECH-1. The goal of this program is to impart a working knowledge of
the PRINClPLE OF MOMENTS, which is not only of importance for public
examinations in Science and Physics, but also for numerous engineering
applications.
E-66) ELECTRO2. Electromagnetic induction is a subject of which Physics
exam candidates are expected to have knowledge. Few devices illustrate
this so well as the transformer. The program studies this device with
reference to the relationship between output voltage, input voltage,
secondary coil and primary coil. It presents the user with a wide range
of problems of three distinct types and operates interactively and in
demonstration mode.
E-69) ELECTRO3. This program is a follow-on from the program ELECTRO and
introduces the student to key formulas and calculations relating to current
splitting and parallel resistances. The program can be operated either in
demonstration mode or in interactive mode, and, although it will run without
VGA Graphics, if your computer does happen to have VGA on board, the program
will make good use of this to depict the relevant electronic circuitry.
E-7O) OPTICS-1. This program deals with fundamental ideas on concave
mirrors, which students need to master if they wish to approach the Optics
section of Physics exam papers successfully - key concepts such as pole,
centre of curvature, focus, focal length, and principal axis. Students
are shown how to calculate the position of object and image; and the program
offers a virtually inexhaustible range of demonstration examples and
interactive questions. Whilst the program will run without VGA Graphics,
if your computer does have VGA or better, the program puts this to good
advantage.
Can the IBM-Compatible Physics Software
by Educator Discs and Videos be run on
iMac / Apple Mac computers too?
More and more families schools are finding it worthwhile to put Windows Emulation on
their iMac / Apple Mac computers, so that they can run IBM-compatible software
such as the Physics educational software by Educator Discs and Videos.
When you are thinking of ordering any of this IBM-compatible Physics educational
software for use on any iMac / Apple Mac computer, please check whether your
computer already has Windows Emulation installed, and if not, whether you
could arrange to have Windows Emulation installed, to enable you to run
this IBM-compatible Physics software.
