ThinkerTools is a Newtonian force-and-motion simulation environment for the Macintosh. The ThinkerTools curriculum scaffolds scientific inquiry using both simulated and "real-world" experiments. Here are a few interesting features:
|
|
| Scripting Language |
 Scripting language supports construction of complex and engaging student activities (games!).
|
|
| Model Design |
"Model Design" feature allows students to modify the physical laws on which the simulation is based (e.g. F=a/m instead of F=ma).
|
|
| Speech Manager |
Speech Manager can "explain" how force and motion laws are applied on a timestep by timestep basis. |
