This week's activities: solubility & temperature, focal length and weighted coins

Happy new year!  We've got some more new activities for use with Yenka.  This week's activities are...

Solubility and Temperature

Made with Yenka Science - (Inorganic Chemistry)

In this model you can dissolve chemicals in water until the solution is saturated, and use the mass of dissolved chemical to calculate its solubility at different temperatures.

Focal Length of a Converging Lens

Made with Yenka Science - (Light and Sound)

In this model, you can investigate the effect of changing the focal length of a lens by comparing three converging lenses with different focal lengths. Choose the correct lens to focus the image on the screen.

Weighted Coin

Made with Yenka Mathematics - (Statistics)

In this model, you can learn how to calculate an estimated probability using a weighted coin game. Investigate the relationship between the accuracy of the estimate and the number of trials.
