Fantastic Voyages

Explore your own galaxy with GalaxSee, check out what happens to a surface as it cools with SimSurface, create fascinating geometric forms with the Fractal Microscope. This Web site, sponsored by the Shodor Educational Foundation, provides interactive software or access to computers that allow students to explore a variety of simulated environments. You can even find a math lesson that uses the storyline of Edgar Allen Poe's The Pit and the Pendulum to help students understand the difference between a simple pendulum and a physical pendulum.
