Science Teacher Helper Buy US$39.99

Science Teacher Helper classic is available now for desktop Word on Windows. The Science Teacher Helper add-in for Microsoft 365 and Word on the web is in development and will follow later.

Look at the drawings first

The pictures below are the real figures from the library - the same files the product inserts into Word, drawn to the size a worksheet uses. Nothing here is a screenshot of a screenshot, and no drawing is so fine that it disappears on a photocopy.

  • 889 drawings in total
  • 493 pre-drawn figures
  • 390 generated drawings
  • 6 calculators

The library holds two kinds of drawing, and it matters which one you are looking at. Pre-drawn figures were drawn once, by hand, and exported at 300 dpi - the fine detail of a machine or a piece of laboratory glassware. Generated drawings are built from vector primitives by the product itself, which is what makes the calculators and the geometry exact: an angle really is the angle you asked for.

A sample from every shelf

Four drawings from each library, chosen across its categories so you see the range rather than the first four alphabetically. In the product, the same names are searchable.

What each library contains

Physics

Mechanics (levers, pulleys, inclined planes, vectors), thermal and calorific apparatus, electricity (cells, meters, lamps, resistor networks), optics (lenses, mirrors, ray diagrams) and experiment set-ups, plus the basic measuring kit.

Chemistry

Glassware and case-and-canal apparatus, measuring and titration set-ups, heating and distillation, gas collection - the laboratory diagrams that are tedious to assemble out of individual shapes.

Electronics

Passive and active components, logic gates and switch circuits, relays, transformers and coils, electron and communication apparatus, and the circuit symbols school syllabuses use.

Mathematics

Algebra and function graphs, geometry (angles, circles, triangles, constructions), coordinate work, and diagrams for trigonometry and transformations.

Symbols

The everyday science symbols - arrows, units, Greek letters, circuit and logic symbols - plus a phonetic set for language and linguistics teaching.

Calculators

6 formula-driven calculators: enter the numbers, the drawing works out the result, and it inserts as editable shapes so the working stays visible.

Names you can search, pictures you can trust

Every entry has an English name and its own keywords, so the search box answers the word a teacher actually types: convex lens, test tube, NPN transistor, sine wave. The picture in the pane is the figure at the size it inserts, drawn to be readable on a photocopy rather than pretty at 800% zoom.
