If you want to use Moovl at school then try www.moovl.co.uk for the Primary School version brought to you by Rigby with cross-curricular teaching activities, extensive school-friendly account administration and lesson planning support. Read all about it in the Moovl blog.

Futurelab supported the research and development of Moovl as a creative thinking and communication resource with applications for science, literacy and problem-solving in the early primary school years.

The key element is that you have your Java environment up to date and away you go. Children can use the sliders on the bottom to create physical effects on the objects and letters they create in the window.

Pause to add more and play to see what happens. The shapes can also interact using their properties to bounce, stick, slide etc.

Explore and Experiment!
