Broken Calculator

The Broken Calculator helps students develop computational fluency by solving problems with a "broken" calculator. For example, a baker packs 315 buns into boxes of 8. How many boxes will the baker need? The division key is broken! Students must find ways to solve the problem, evaluate the solutions, and explain their reasoning.

Molecular Workbench - Self Assembly

Students learn the necessary conditions for self-assembly (random motion and molecular stickiness), play with some example models of self-assembling biological structures (dimers, fibers and microtubules), and then design their own self assembly structures.

Pedagogica Explorer

The successor to our Genscope, BioLogica™, and DEUCE software, Pedagogica Explorer includes activities in the topics of Biology: Genetics, Physics: Mechanics, and Chemistry: Atoms and Gas Laws.

To get the stand-alone version of this sofware, simply click on the Mac or Windows icon below.

A special version of this software reported the data it collected to our servers for additional processing. Teachers and students could then login to the web portal to get reports about their progress on the activities, to check scores on tests, etc.

Note: Some activities may have problems with items from previous screens remaining on subsequent screens. To help with this problem, try minimizing the window and then un-minimizing it.

Population Explorer

The CC Population Explorer lets you simulate population growth and contraction due to environmental issues, mutations, and genetic factors.

Qualitative Grapher

The Seeing Math™ Qualitative Grapher provides a connection between graphic and motion model representations of functions. The Qualitative Grapher helps to highlight the meaning of the graphic representation of a function and how a function can be seen as something changing over time by enabling users to construct a piecewise function that contains linear and/or non-linear segments.

TEEMSS Sound Grapher

The TEEMSS Sound Grapher is the Concord Consortium's simple sound graphing tool.

Helix Molecule Screenshot
This helix molecule was generated by the Molecular Workbench software. When you view it in the software, you can manipulate it by rotating and zooming.
