Simple Simulation Software
Crocodile Chemistry software for all Scottish secondary schools
29 April 2004
NGfL Scotland has purchased the chemistry simulator Crocodile Chemistry, and three years' access to Crocodilia, for all Scottish secondary schools.
Crocodile Chemistry is a virtual chemistry laboratory which lets students and teachers simulate experiments safely and easily. With over 100 chemicals and a wide range of equipment, it can be used to simulate reactions to difficult or dangerous to perform in a school lab. It also reveals hidden concepts and data, and a wide range of graphs can be plotted from the simulations.
As part of their Digital Content Procurement, NGfL Scotland issued an invitation to tender for the supply of chemistry teaching software. Crocodile Clips were pleased to be successful in this. As a result, 386 Scottish secondary schools have already received Crocodile Chemistry 309. In January 2005, an updated version will be shipped - compatible with Mac OS X. The schools will also be able to access the Crocodilia for Crocodile Chemistry support portal for 3 years.
Crocodile Clips' Marketing Director Dominic Sharratt said "We're naturally very pleased to be supplying this software to Scottish schools. We've worked closely with several of them over the past 10 years to ensure that the software meets their needs, and it's great that the others can now access it as well."
