Predict is presented as PD, subject to the conditions below. I have not
given any instructions for use here as I think you will find it pretty
obvious once you start the application.
Providing you enter data that is accurate I have found that over a 24hr
period the program is pretty good, certainly as good as our local forecasts!
It was designed with children undertaking a weather topic in mind, allowing
them to use data gathered to make predictions - covering IT attainment
targets. If you find it useful then you may be interested in another
application: Forecast, details below.

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! Demonstration/shareware versions of these can be ordered by sending £1 for the first title (then 50p per additional title) to the address above. A catalogue is also available upon request.
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,
