FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
OnScreen Science Visualization Software Prices Reduced 60% During Year-End Sale
SOMERVILLE, MA—December 14, 2007—OnScreen Science, Inc.® today announced an across-the-board price slash of 60% on its modern physics and modern biology teaching software through the rest of 2007. The sale prices, which are the lowest the company has ever offered, are $27.60 for OnScreen Particle Physics™ and OnScreen DNA™, instead of the usual $69. The Pro version of OnScreen DNA is now on sale at $39.60, down from $99. The science visualization software runs under Macintosh OS X and Windows XP. Usual pricing will resume January 1, 2008.
OnScreen Particle Physics is designed to make the strange quantum world of subatomic physics accessible to students at the high school level and above. Its simulated particle detection chamber vividly displays the unfolding of particle physics events as helical tracks in three dimensions. Users can utilize the same physical principles as real particle physicists to set up experiments and then make measurements and calculations to solve the puzzle of what kind of particles made the tracks. The prize-winning software has been featured in Quarknet Summer Teacher Workshops funded by the US Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation.
OnScreen DNA uses a 3D virtual model in a tutorial framework to teach the structural details of DNA, the genome molecule, including its double helix geometry and chemical components and bonds. In addition, interactive simulations of the critical DNA processes of replication and gene transcription are included to make accessible the sometimes tricky details of DNA functioning in time and space. The consistent use of 3D graphics makes the software stand out in comparison with 2D flattened ladder representations of DNA typically seen in internet animations.
OnScreen Particle Physics and OnScreen DNA are available from OnScreen Science, Inc., 46 Wallace St. Somerville, MA 02144 or online at www.onscreen-sci.com. Ten-computer site licenses are also available with the same reduction from the normal price. There is a sixty-day money-back guarantee of satisfaction.
OnScreen Science, Inc.® has been developing and selling Ph.D.-scientist-designed software for science education tasks particularly benefiting from computer simulations since 1994.
