Algodoo - Virtual Physics Lab

We have been exploring the potential of Algodoo, a virtual physics laboratory whch can also be used for fun to create "contraptions" not unlike Little Big Planet.

You are presented with a blank canvas and a collection of tools with which you can create a massive range of experiences, probably only restricted by one's imagination. The ability to change many physical variables, to vary gravitational forces, air resistance, refractive index, friction etc. etc.  gives the software real teaching power.

This is a purchased project with different price points based on how it is going to be used. The education version comes with teaching resources.

There are many examples of the software being used on YouTube as well as the Algodoo website. We hope to add to that with our own ideas.

Take a look at www.algodoo.com or just click here.
