A new weekly service: free Yenka classroom activities
Today, we've published the first in a series of classroom activities for use by members of our Leader in Technology initiative.
Each week, we'll be uploading some new activities for use with our Yenka software. They're designed to be suitable for use either on whiteboards or by individual students, and you can even use Yenka to edit them to suit your needs.
This week's activities are...
Made with Yenka Science - (Inorganic Chemistry)Examine the effect on lime water of adding hydrochloric acid to carbonates. Use this test to determine which of three unknown solids contains carbonate ions.
Made with Yenka Science - (Light and Sound)Investigate how light can be diverted through fibre optic cables by placing glass rods at different angles into the path of a ray of light. Find the glass rod with the correct angle to divert three beams of light through a gap.
Made with Yenka Mathematics - (Statistics)Observe how data sets with different characteristics can have the same mean by altering the range of heights of two groups of people whilst keeping the mean values the same.
Using the activities
To use these classroom activities, you need Yenka installed on your computer.
