Using Snatoms to explain solvation

Solvation is one of those very hard topics to understand. We have been using the Snatoms to try and make solvation slightly easier to follow. We can see the idea behind size and how the different molecules can bind to one another. We can show how the shape of the molecules makes a difference. We can then help explain what ligands are and how they make sometimes those really pretty colours.

Using a #PASCO rotary sensory, we dropped a brass weight ( 25g) attached to a piece of string. As the ball fall it turned the motion sensor which in turn recorded the distance travelled, the velocity of the weight and its acceleration.
