Conversations with Computers - The Turing Test

This activity aims to stimulate discussion on the question of whether computers can exhibit ’intelligence’, or are ever likely to do so in the future. Based on a pioneering computer scientist’s view of how one might recognize artificial intelligence if it ever appeared, it conveys something of what is currently...

Conversion Graphs

This excel file starts with a series of five sheets which show conversion graphs involving metric and imperial measures for height and weight and graphs for money conversions. The two money conversions allow the exchange rate to be altered. Units used include stones, kg...

Convert Lengths

Practice in converting between different metric units of length, using exercises on a worksheet, a bingo game and a dominoes game.
