Titrations in Yenka Science

This week, we're starting with a favourite chemistry experiment of mine: the acid-alkali titration.

As well as letting your students experiment safely, Yenka lets you graph the progress of the experiment easily.

You can choose whichever concentrations you want, and see how it affects the reaction.

Distance learning with Yenka in Colombia

Some interesting news from South America this week.

We're going to be working with the Fundación Universitaria Católica del Norte, in Medellín, Colombia.

They'll be using our software for 5,000 distance learning students.

Yenka's highly flexible simulation makes it ideal for teachers and students working together remotely on projects.

If you'd like more information about how this might work in your establishment, just get in touch!

Yenka Science: 
Transformer experiment

Yenka Science simple transformer experiment

In this Yenka Science model, we show you how a transformer can be used to step up a voltage enough to light a bulb. See what happens when the voltage is stepped up too much!
