Useful modelling software for Science, Maths, Computing and Technology teachers

Yenka - This is a new generation of educational modelling software from Crocodile clips, which allows teachers and students to simulate concepts.

I have had a brief look at the electrochemistry, it looks very manipulative and the user has a lot of variables that they can select/control.

Physics is cover well, there seems to be a lot of simulations that would be useful when teaching topics in Electricity, Optics/light, Motion and sound.

The software is not free but they do give you a free 15 day demo! Check out their website to get started.

Finally, to quickly acknowledge @andyfield who tweeted the link - Thanks!

Lastly: evidence a PLN (personal learning network) is hugely valuable to professional development
