Yup, Crocodile Clips is a piece of software that is used in our Science Dept. It's in quite a lot of schools because it's one of the programs

Well: http://www.crocodile-clips.com/ is presumably what is being mentioned. From the looks of it is am all-in-one simualator for sciences. The chemistry page for instance details the ability to simulate chemistry experiments "safely" (which, to me seems like a cop-out from proper hands-on practical chemistry) while being able to graph the results. I'll skip my cynacism of this, other than to say that I do know of open-source alternatives to different aspects of what CC seems to encompass, but they are far too advanced for GCSE-level specs (especially as I wouldn't want to inflict "gnuplot" on them). I'm quite happy to detail my thoughts if anyone is interested. -- Thomas Adam ===== "The Linux Weekend Mechanic" -- http://linuxgazette.net "TAG Editor" -- http://linuxgazette.net "<shrug> We'll just save up your sins, Thomas, and punish you for all of them at once when you get better.
