The ultimate CD for students studying the basics of electricity.
We all know that some people find the concepts of electricity difficult to grasp. 
Here is the solution.
A collection of presentations, simulations, games, questions and activities to stimulate 
the interest of the most reluctant student. If students get a proper grasp of the 
fundamentals, this topic becomes one of the easier physics’ concepts.

At the heart of the program lies a full simulation of a circuit
board
. Components can be added, moved and altered, 
the effects being noted and measured. The concepts can be studied in an ideal environment before the reality of poor connections, flat batteries and broken bulbs interferes with the underlying 
concepts
A series of built in worksheets can be used to guide progress 
through the simulation.

Then there are the presentations using
diagrams and photographs to explain 
each main concept in detail Of course there are the normal multiple choice tests. In addition there are interactive activities as a way of self testing.

Playing games while answering questions can be a powerful
way of learning.

Simulations can help to achieve a real depth of understanding.

As with all software, the only way to appreciate this program is to try it.
