PROGRAM EVALUATION

•Yenka MotionPART2

Yenka Motion (Overview)

• 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.

• Equally at home on interactive whiteboards or when used by individual students, Yenka lets you learn by experimenting in a safe, accurate virtual world.

PROGRAM EVALUATION PART2

Yenka Motion (Overview)

• Yenka Motion lets you experiment freely with forces and motion, with control over a wide range of parameters. It covers the same motion topics as were found in Crocodile Physics.

• Add balls, blocks and carts, position them as you wish, and drop, accelerate or collide them.

• Define parameters like mass, elasticity, coefficient of friction, dimensions, velocity and driving force, and add your own images to give context.

PROGRAM EVALUATION PART2

The Purpose of evaluation

•The main goal of this evaluation is to evaluate the Yunka simulation environment and what is the advantages and disadvantages of using it.
