MATH AND SCIENCE for Windows, Version 3.1 Purpose: In MATH AND SCIENCE, the first five programs are aimed at Grades 1 through 6 and help teach the four basic arithmetic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The last five programs present real-world applications of physics and math - great ideas for science fairs! For kids aged 9 to 16. The first four programs give you the option of solving a randomly generated problem or one you enter. You also have the option of solving the problem yourself or having the computer show you, in a step by step fashion, how to solve the problem. In Addition Tutor, you get practice in adding from 2 to 6 numbers (with 1 to 6 digits each). Subtraction Tutor provides column subtraction problems. The program gives optional practice in 'borrowing' concepts. Multiplication Tutor helps you learn how to multiply numbers with up to five digits. You enter your answers just like you work them on paper - column by column. In Division Tutor, you obtain help in solving long division problems. Problems are solved just like you would on paper and remainders are optional. In Flash Card Math, you get practice in all the above skills. The level of problem difficulty can be varied and, based on performance, the computer will encourage moving to different skill levels. Also has optional timer. Circuits allows you to build electric circuits from batteries, switches, and light bulbs. See effects of different circuit types, burned out bulbs, etc. Levers teaches you about the three different lever types and forces required to balance them. Moon Lander gives practice in understanding concepts of speed and acceleration as you try to land on the moon. Study basic oscillations with Pendulum -- see effects of changing lengths, weight, and friction. Plots of motion are given. Water Wheel demonstrates the exciting world of chaotic dynamics. Examine wheel motion as different water flow rates are used.
