At this age students meet technology for the first time, so these simulators start from what they can see and touch. They cover simple mechanisms such as levers, pulleys, gears and belts, structures that hold or collapse, series and parallel circuits, and technical drawing: the views of simple parts, isometric and oblique drawing, dimensioning and scales. Every simulator can be used without formulas at first and then with the numbers on screen, which makes them good for mixed-ability classes. They run in any browser, on the classroom whiteboard or on a tablet, with nothing to install and no account to create.
