Hi Miles,
Gavin posted this a while ago, it's very impressive as a physics
demo... The first 6 are free, see below...

Hi,
in case anyone is interested, the virtual physics laboratory is
Windows-based physics simulation software for education:
http://vplab.co.uk/
It seems at the moment to be strictly for windows, but it runs pretty
well
in WINE on ubuntu gutsy (possibly other versions too?).
sudo apt-get install wine msttcorefonts
mkdir vpl
cd vpl
wget http://www.colpus.me.uk/vplab/download/VPLabSampleFolder.zip
unzip VPLabSampleFolder.zip
wine Balance.exe
It seems you can get those 6 sample simulations for free but there are
over
160 in the full set which can be purchased from the website above. They
might be quite nice to get working on thin clients.
Gavin

Hi,
We have a whole school science week rapidly approaching, and I had
in mind taking classes (aged say 6 to 10) into the computer room
(running Feisty as thin clients) and doing something with some
scientific relevance - any recommendations for either tasks or
software?
Something I'd really like is a ubuntu version of MS's Physics
Illustrator (http://blog.hypercubed.com/archives/2006/02/05/how-to-use-physics-illistrator-on-non-tablet-pc/
qv http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7eGypGOlOc), anyone tried this
under mono?
Many thanks,
Miles.
