Educational Software in Mathematics, Biology, Physics and Chemistry

The students from grades 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 at Zlatarski School will now be able to use digital lessons in classes in Mathematics, Biology, Physics and Chemistry. The software is developed in the United Kingdom and it is fully compatible with the educational content of IGCSE and IB textbooks. The digital lessons in the natural sciences and mathematics are already installed and ready to use with the interactive whiteboards available in every classroom at the School.

Through animations, virtual experiments and educational games the interactive lessons make science and mathematics classes much more interesting. The integration of the educational software and interactive lessons in class is part of the larger project of Zlatarski School Interactive technologies in every classroom.
