This application will enable you to produce a variety of printed worksheets
suitable for science students up to AT4 of the Science National Curriculum.
It was designed for school use, to fulfil three roles:
a) Source of material for homework
b) Revision aid
c) Generate material quickly for a 'fill in lesson'
Material is grouped into categories (Earth & Space, Electricity, Electronics,
Energy, Forces & Motion, Light & Colour, Motors & Generators, Sound & Waves) and within each category a variety of worksheets can be generated including, crosswords, anagrams, word searches, missing vowels & True or False.
Worksheets are different each time they are printed, so even if you print
the same category and same type of test (eg a froces word search) it will be
different. You can also print answer sheets!
Using Assist_3: Science
-----------------------
The Trinity.Medium font will need to been have 'seen' by the system. Load by
double clicking, then click on the icon bar to open the Assist_3 window.
The program works as a series of stages, you move between each stage by
clicking on either the NEXT or BACK button. During each stage you will have
to make choices depending on what type of worksheet you require, by clicking
on radio and option icons. Broadly the stages break down as follows:
1. Select the category for the worksheet (eg Light, Sound etc)
2. Choose the type of test (eg anagram, crossword, wordsearch etc)
3. Decide how many questions you want printed (this is not available for
wordsearches or crosswords)
4. Decide what layout you want for the header/footer
5. Add a reference (optional)
6. Print
Registration
------------
This software is shareware - you try it before you buy it. You may use it
for up to 30 days to evaluate its potential. If you continue to use it
after then you must register it by sending a cheque for 9.99 to the address
below. Print your name and address clearly, state who/what organisation
you want the application registerd to & the name of the application (ie
Assist_3: Science AT4).
By registering you will receive a new copy of the application, with the
unregistered windows that pop up removed. You can also be kept up to date
with new applications as they become available. There is nothing to force
you to register - but if you continue to use it beyond 30 days you are
being dishonest and jepardise future releases.

Shown below is a brief description (E & O.E) of applications by the same
author. Virtually all are of an educational nature, running under the WIMP.
Most work on RISC OS 2, all work on RISC OS 3. I have not tried them on a
RISC PC, but they ought to be ok!
Geography:
* Where & Grid - Designed for Key Stage 3, Where & Grid are two
complementary applications. They test locations of countries (Europe &
Africa), towns, counties (UK only) rivers, montains, bearings, four and
six figure grid references. Currently the set covers the UK, Europe
& Africa.
* OS_Symbols - Designed for Key Stage 3, OS_Symbols tests knowledge of a
range of OS Map symbols. A particular symbol is displayed and the correct
description must be found - time limits can be set.
* Forecast - Produce your own weather maps just like on TV with symbols and
isobars. Variety of maps supplied; wind chill can be determined.
* Predict - Predict the weather for the next 24 hours by supplying data
such are pressure and wind direction.
* Link - A 'blockbuster' type quiz game, where all the words are connected
with Key Satge 3 geography.
Science:
* Circuit symbols - Tests knowledge of circuit and electronic symbols
against the clock.
* Assist: Science AT4 - Produce a wide range of worksheets for topics on
AT4. Each topic has a wide range categories including word searches,
crosswords, True or False, Anagrams and Missing words. Worksheets are
created from a databank, so they are different each time they are printed.
* Assist: Equations - Produce four types of worksheets based on chemical
equations. Categories are Balancing equations, Missing product, Missing
reactant and Right or Wrong. Because a databank is used, worksheets are
different each time they are printed.
* Assist: Periodic Table - Print a customised Periodic Table. Displayed data
can include mass number, density, boiling point, melting point,
