Absorb Advanced Physics from Crocodile Clips
A highly interactive physics course covering the full core A-Level syllabus.
The course covers electronics, electricity and mechanics. Crocodile Physics simulations and interactive animations allow the student to investigate the subjects fully. It uses a mix of animations, models and Crocodile Physics simulations to deliver the core A-Level syllabus.
An interactive physics course combining involving narrative with frequent interactive investigations. Test questions help to check understanding, and photos and animations illustrate hidden concepts. Crocodile Physics simulations allow full modelling of key concepts. New units: Now covers all of the core A Level syllabus - over 20 new units on Atomic and Nuclear Physics, Quantum Physics and more.
It's ideal wither for individual study or for whole-class teaching with a whiteboard - perhaps introducing new topics, or preparing for a practical lesson. The Media Gallery lets you browse through the many interactive elements in the course, and extract them to use in your lessons.
Absorb Physics for A-Level is written by Adrian Watt, an experienced physics teacher and author of the textbook "New Higher Physics". His engrossing narrative gives a framework for the interactive media, leading the student through the topic or offering a framework to teach in front of the whole class on a whiteboard or screen.
Interactive Investigations
The key to Absorb courseware is allowing students to think for themselves, rather than simply learning facts. Investigations are used in each unit, with the student operating controls and interpreting results or data. Questions link with these investigations, focusing the student on key learning objectives.
Animations
Animations bring key concepts to life in Absorb Physics for A-Level.
Simulations
Many of the units in Absorb Physics for A-Level include simulations created in Crocodile Physics. These allow free experimentation with geniune simulation of electronics, force & motion or optics.
Media Gallery
Each unit has a media gallery showing the interactive elements for that unit on one page. It lets you use them in two ways: either alone, viewed full-screen for projection in front of a class, or in context within a unit. This lets you incorporate the hundreds of top-quality interactive elements into your own teaching however you choose, as well as having them as part of the complete course. When using the media in-context, they can still be temporarily expanded to a full-screen view, and they can be floated above the text to ensure that they're always visible.
Unit Questions
Each unit has questions within the narrative, designed to break up the text and check understanding of what has been covered. They can be used as a basis for classroom discussion while presenting on a whiteboard, or to help involve pupils studying alone. Each unit also has a set of test questions at the end. These cover what has been studied in the unit.
