Purchasing Information

           CPU Simulation Software and CPU Curriculum Units are now available in formats that run on either Macintosh or Windows computers. The Simulation Software is Java-based and requires Internet Explorer to run. The Curriculum Units are Microsoft Word-based and require the CPU Simulation Software. Both the Software and Units are distributed by the The Learning Team Publishing Company.
    If you purchase the Curriculum Units, you must download Force and Motion Unit Cycle VII separately. Links to web sites containing additional software you'll need (such as Internet Explorer) are listed under Non-CPU Software.
    Visit the CPU website for updated information about CPU software and units!

System requirements:

NOTE: CPU Simulation Software is currently being updated so that it works under Sun Microsystem's Java Runtime Environment (JRE). Updates will be available soon from The Learning Team. Note that Mac OS X and versions of Microsoft Windows dated 2003 or later ONLY come with JRE, so you will need to upgrade.
