The Physics department has purchased a 1 year site license for a really smart software package called Crocodile Physics. The terms of the license allow any pupil in the school to download a copy for home use. If you are interested, mac and windows versions of the software can be obtained by going to www.crocodilia.com and logging in with the user name “student.thurso” and the password your teacher will give you (I can’t publish the password here). Select Crocodile Physics from the drop-down menu and log in. Go to the download section to get your copy of the software.
The site also contains sample models for you to download and try out. Ask me if you want to know more about them.
