FREEBEE FRIDAY: Instant Science Curriculum

If you’re looking for software to help teach everything from graphing to atomic weight, but don’t have a budget to buy it, Golden K Star has a variety of math, chemistry and physics programs that are available for free download. The 3.5MB file contains 9 Genius Maker mini-apps that range from curve fitting and resolving matrices to the refraction of light and molecular weight along with 25 trial programs for other subjects. Created by various institutes and universities across India, all the apps are interactive and guaranteed to grab the imagination of young scientists, but the software wants to run at either 800 by 600 or 1,024 by 768 resolution.
