The new exam system will be more comprehensive and Module 3 - 6 will all have simulations. We have also altered Modules 1,2 and 7 to include additional assessment tools such as mix and match and drag and drop in in this way do away with the multiple choice system as currently available. |

As you can see on the image on the left, the keyword 'energy' was used. Below the green tab that says "Resource Structure" you will see how the search results are divided into the subjects and grades. By using this you can sort your search results in the following manner:
By using this sorting function you can get a better idea of what the resource would contain. If you select Chemistry (78) under Grade 10-11 you will notice on the right hand side of the page the resources will appear. You will also notice that along with the resources you will also now have a document tree. Some of the links in the document tree will be highlighted blue with a number in brackets. This indicates that there are resources relating to your search under that topic name. By using the document tree you can further refine your search to resources relating to energy in terms of Bonding or in terms of Solids and States of Matter. |
| Your search can also be defined in terms of the type of activity you wish to use. On the right above the resources you will see a drop down menu for "Resource type". The default setting is to "Show all" however any resource type can be selected as per your needs. Further more you can define your search so that the yTeach search results will only display resources that have already been purchased by your school. This can be set on the left hand side of the Web page; there is a blue tick box located under the "Resource Structure". Here you can select whether you would like all resources shown or only purchased resource. Visit www.yteach.co.za to preview the thousands of resources that could enhance your students' learning experiences or email info@yteach.co.za to arrange for a sales representative to do a presentation. |
