Yenka is a powerful piece of
software for schools, which lets you use – and edit – an ever-growing library of free lessons for
mathematics, science, technology and computing.
Learn Science Practicals Visually : Do Experiments Virtually
Equally at home on interactive whiteboards or when used by individual students, Yenka lets you learn by experimenting in a safe, accurate virtual world.
Yenka Software is based around a powerful, but easy-to-use, modeling engine. Unlike most educational software, this means you can modify our lessons as you wish. And you can even create your own lessons or activities from scratch, with just a few clicks.
@ ^^ Yenka Basic Circuits is a free product which lets you build circuits using a set of basic electrical components. Components on offer include batteries, a resistor, a bulb and some switches, as well as outputs like a motor, coloured LEDs and a buzzer.
Generally, you need to buy a license to use Yenka products in a school – but a few are available completely free for school use, as well as home use.
- Yenka Coordinates introduces Cartesian axes by letting you plot points, play games where you find points or identify their coordinates, and identify points on 3D shapes.
- Yenka Basic Circuits lets you simulate simple circuits using a range of pictorial components, like batteries, switches, resistors and bulbs.
- Yenka Sequences lets you introduce computer programming, controlling 3D dancing characters using sequences of flowchart instructions.
- Yenka PICs lets you program PIC or PICAXE microcontroller chips, and test your program on-screen before exporting it to a real chip.
Yenka Basic Circuits is completely free of charge for you to use, whether at home or at school, with no time limit.
