• Chemistry: a tool to help students learn the Periodic Table of Elements (Kalzium).
• Mathematics: a mathematical function plotter with a powerful built-in function parser (KmPlot), and a simple math application that will aid pupils in improving their skills in calculating percentages (KPercentage).
