Java Support

The Java Runtime Environment version 5 (sometimes referred to as 1.5) or later with Java Webstart is required to run any of the activities. You can download it at: java.com.

Mac OS X Web Start Fix

If you are using Java 1.5 on Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you will need to run our Fix MacOS Java 1.5 Web Start Utility once on each computer before you launch any activities. Without the fix, activities that you have run before will freeze during download. Click here to run it now.
WARNING: If you update Java on your Macintosh, you will need to fix this problem again.

Flash and QuickTime Support

To view some of the models in the activity, it is highly recommended that you install MozSwing, the embedded Flash and QuickTime support. Note that if you have installed the application using our new installer on a Mac computer, MozSwing is automatically included, so it does not need to be re-installed.

If you are unable to install the embedded support, some models will open in the computers default web browser. Please ensure that this browser supports Flash and the latest QuickTime.
