Force table
Teaching A Level #Physics online using a force table. The student needed to tell me which hander to add and remove masses to achieve balanced forces. With some students still isolating it is essential that they do some practical work #iteachphysics

Making a Salt from an insoluble metal oxide and Acid
A busy morning making Copper Sulfate from Copper Oxide and Sulfuric Acid. The students enjoy doing the practicals they are not able or allowed to do at school. This one is a required practical that the school only told them about. #teaching I made a full video of this on YouTube which is very popular.

Changing the shape of the lens in human eye model
Using the @pascoscientific adjustable lens in the human eye model and with ray boxes. Its great to be able to show the biology and physics students how the human eye lens works getting thicker and thinner rather than using fixed shaped lenses. #iteachphysics #teaching
The lens consists of two sheets of plastic with water in the middle and connected to a syringe. If water is pushed into the eye the lens gets fatter and becomes convex in shape. As water is removed the lens becomes concave in shape.. Adjusting the amount of water changes the dioptre of the lens. Fascinating to watch and use.

New Light Source
My new @pascoscientific light box from @SciChemEdu arrived and now I can try to get the human eye model to work using this arrow arrangement on the light. Seems to be a good light source with different slits to try out. #iteachphysics
