Pearson Prentice Hall
ForgeFX is pleased to present this showcase of simulations created for Pearson Prentice
Hall's digital science curriculums. ForgeFX has developed over 100 simulation-based
learning applications for Pearson Education, helping to create products that allow
students to become active participants in the learning process. Immersive Learning SimulationsThis award winning digital curriculum was featured in an Adobe Customer Showcase. Prentice Hall textbooks feature Web Codes printed in the Student Edition, allowing students to go directly to a specific activity online related to a topic in the textbook. Transforming students from passive observes of linear material, to active operators of interactive content, e-learning simulations allow students to become immersed and involved in the learning process. If you're charged with educating and training students, you're aware of the challenges associated with keeping people engaged with educational material. Using highly-realistic 3D simulations, that are web-based, allows you to provide students with immersive content that keep them engaged for longer periods of time. ![]() A pheromone is a chemical released by one animal that affects the behavior of another animal of the same species. This is a real-time 3D simulation that demonstrates how ants use pheromones to communicate. The student is able to interact with the simulation's artificial intelligence and environment to see how the ants will react to changes in their environment. ![]() When the moon's shadow hits Earth or Earth's shadow hits the moon, an eclipse occurs. This real-time 3D simulation of the Sun, Earth, and moon explains lunar and solar eclipses, as well as the defined moon phases. The student can manipulate the Sun, the Earth, and the moon into all of their phases as well as view the phases from a variety of different perspectives. ![]() Seismic waves are vibrations that travel through Earth carrying the energy released during an earthquake. This real-time 3D application allows users to create seismic waves of any magnitude and pass them through a variety of terrains. The student can view the seismic activity in the terrain through both a textured and wire frame view. ![]() Most waves form when winds blowing across the water's surface transmit their energy to the water. This is a real-time 3D wave simulator which demonstrates the connection between wind speed and ocean particle motion depth. The student can modify the properties of an ocean wave and see the effect from any perspective. ![]() Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living things. This real-time 3D model allows the user to inspect the structures of both plant and animal cells. The student is able to explore the entire cell from any angle as well as drill down to individual organelles of the cell for more information and a better view. ![]() A biome is a group of ecosystems with similar climates and organisms. This is a real-time 3D application which allows users to examine the different biomes on the planet Earth. Students can rotate the globe to any angle, identify and choose biomes, and find out detailed information about a city in each biome. ![]() In genetic terms, evolution is any change in the relative frequency of alleles in a population. In small populations, an allele can become more or less common simply by chance for reasons other than natural selection. This kind of random change in allele frequency is called genetic drift. Pearson Prentice Hall has found that developing projects using real-time 3D has many benefits. Because the 3D simulations are built using computer generated models, camera angles, and lighting effects, they are easy to modify and make changes to. For an assessment of needs that are specific to your project, please contact ForgeFX so we can review your requirements and put forward a project plan, including a technology recommendation. |
