With SAM Learning you can make sure your students are…

With moving grade boundaries, the shift towards exam testing over coursework and cuts to the number of resits available, the path towards taking GCSEs – the culmination of years of study – continues to be a journey that crosses a perilous landscape, both for students and teachers.

At SAM Learning we aim to make this landscape more inviting to everyone involved.

Enter the new SAM Learning World.

Students are immersed into a world that rewards their learning and gives them a sense of direction and fun whilst remaining firmly focused in the world of revision, ensuring that independent work is not lost to a world of gimmicks and games.

All the while a sense of community is instilled into them, encouraging both competition and a desire to develop. See the world and some of the activities for yourself.

It takes just 10 hours.

Independent research has shown that using SAM Learning for just ten hours over the course of a year can increase a student’s grades across two subjects.

Take that up to twenty hours and the report shows this can move to four subjects.

With 83% of students saying they enjoyed using SAM Learning, schools re-subscribing again and again, and a number of awards to our name, have a look at what SAM Learning can do for your school.

These 3d immersive experiments use games technology to give realistic laboratory experiences. They are based on years of research into teaching science on-screen. They are ideal where resources are limited or where you want to give your students a wider experience of experiments that they would not normally do, such as measuring the acceleration of gravity on the Moon, firing an AK47 at a ballistic balance, using an Airtrack to verify Newton’s Second Law.

The 3D immersive experiments can be used in a variety of ways:

• By the students directly to prepare for a laboratory experiment by familiarising them with the equipment to be used and the methodology of the experiment. ·
• To give experience of an additional experiment for which there would not normally be available laboratory time. ·
• To give experience of getting a particular result in a different way to what they have used in a practical laboratory lesson which allows the students to compare methods and better understand the essentials of an experiment. ·
• As a substitute for an experiment that might be too dangerous or impossible for a student to undertake. · As general supporting material for science theoretical work. ·
• As revision for an experiment that has previously been performed in the laboratory. ·
• As a personal experience of an experiment normally only performed by the teacher in front of the class.

Experiments include: Velocity, Acceleration and Newton’s 3nd Law using an Airtrack, Conservation of Momentum using a ballistic balance, Moments, Rutherford’s Gold Foil experiment, I/V Characteristics, Magnetic Field of a Coil, Specific Heat, Mechanical Equivalent of Heat, Diffraction, Hooke’s Law and Young’s Modulus, Capacitor Charge and Discharge, Planck’s Constant, Millikan’s Oil Drop.
