New from Yenka: composite shapes, reactivity of electrodes and circular motion

Some more new whiteboard lessons for you to use with Yenka.  If you've not already got the Yenka products we've used to make them, you can get a free licence to try out the content.

Circular motion (changing direction)

Made with Yenka Science - (Motion)

Simulate circular motion using a ball on the end of a rod. Observe the direction of the tension force, and then change the ball's velocity to see the effect this has on the direction of the centripetal force.

Reactivity of electrodes

Made with Yenka Science - (Electrochemistry)

Use a voltmeter to measure the voltage across a simulated electrochemical circuit. Change the metal electrodes and look at the resulting voltage to work out the order of reactivity of the metals.

Areas of composite shapes

Made with Yenka Mathematics - (3D Shapes)

Introducing composite shapes, looking first at composite shape made up of a rectangle and a triangle. You can use the areas of these shapes to calculate the area of the composite shape, and then use Yenka to make your own composite shapes.
