Lenz's Law

 Lenz's Law

Using magnetic film to show the passage of the magnet down a copper tube. #iteachphysics #teaching Using some slomo to help.

magnetic field viewing film

Using magnetic field viewing film from https://magnametals.co.uk to show the magnetic fields produced by a magnetic without having to use all those messy iron filings. The film is great made from a green flexible sheet coated with micro capsules containing nickel flakes suspended in oil.

Learning electricity

 Using Locktronics to teach series and parallel circuits. So easy for the GCSE students to understand Drawing, Reading, Doing, seeing patterns, the best way to learn, using all types of learning and recall. #iteachphysics #education

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. https://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
