Test your knowledge of the properties of different types of wood by trying to beat the firrs researchers Kerf, Sylvie and Wren in this trump cards game. To help you play you can study the information on the cards by viewing graphs that show how the properties are related.
Can you recognise different species of trees that grow in British Woodlands just by looking at their leaves? Find out with this quiz! Don't worry if you don't know your trees - Kerf can give you the lowdown.
Our plan is to make graphic novels with some interactive puzzles hidden in them (shh...don't give the secret away)...but at the moment we just have episode one of Wren's story. To be continued...
Fancy impressing your mates by knowing the botanical names of some trees? Trees have different names in different parts of the world, so Latin is used to give species unique scientific names. We have a range of games made with Studymate.
Have you watched the video about acoustic testing of wood? This flash tool simulates the sound vibrations in a piece of timber that are used to measure its stiffness. You can fiddle with the controls for the different mode shapes.
This is a more advanced version of Whack-a-Stick based on a scientific model of what actually happens when you whack one end of a piece of wood with a hammer. Try out the many controls and instruments to explore what happens in your very own virtual laboratory.
This is a prototype interactive animation showing how Adobe Flash can be used to show something in three dimensions - not just as a three dimensional object drawn on a flat screen but as a proper stereo 3D image that has apparent depth when viewed wearing red-cyan anaglyph glasses.
