Moovl – just add imagination

The folks behind the Curriculart website, which I’ve blogged before, have been in touch to say the site is fully up and running now, including four free projects to test out the service.

My friends at Best Science Lesson Ever have pointed me in the direction of this amazing physics simulator, from MIT. The science animations illustrated here are of more interest to Secondary schools, whereas Moovl takes a simpler approach more appropriate for Primary schools, but many of the underlying principles (the ability to quickly draw objects, assign physical properties and then make them interact) are the same.

The program is called “Assist Sketch Understanding System and Operation”. Unfortunately, according to the notes, you can’t buy or download the software. The demo, however is enticing!

The Incy Wincy Spider video has received a good response via YouTube - over 100 views, and a very nice comment from someone who seems to like the soundtrack!
