Ready for Microbiology

 Something I haven't done for a while - Microbiology with my A level Biology students. All the equipment has now arrived, so we can soon start sterilising ( the autoclave was too big for the photos) making up broth and agar plates, practising aseptic technique and starting to grow some E Coli then we can test them with Mint and Garlic to see if they like the food as much as I do! #microbiology #teaching #teachingkids

Density

 Measuring Mass and Volume to calculate the Density of different materials. Looking at GCSE #Physics to compare the ease of solids liquids and irregular shaped objects to determine their densities. The mass of a block of tungsten shocks the students. #iteachphysics

My renewable Energy News

The CO2 from the fermentation of just one six pack of beer takes a tree two full days to absorb. Young Henrys have developed a system to use microalgae to produce oxygen from this. myrenewableenergy.org/News.html  July 7th #ClimateAction #beer




Investigating Capacitors at A Level

 Trying out some A level #Physics experiments to understand the properties of capacitors, changing the size, dielectric, distance between plates and voltage. Having Fun #iteachphysics #teaching

Simple Harmonic Motion Pendulum

 Investigating more A level #Physics Simple Harmonic Motion using @pascoscientific metre rule and the rotary motion sensor. The students were finding out how changing the mass and the length of the pendulum affected the period. #iteachphysics
