Burning a crisp

 Burning a crisp to work out its energy #STEM @ChatBiology We got 200kJ for 100g for crisps instead of the packet saying 2000kJ Gave the students a headache working out why, when they did the experiment so carefully using @pascoscientific capstone. #iteachbiology #Science

Uranium

#Alevel #Physics Using a @pascoscientific GM counter to look at the radiation count of a flake of Uranium Paint. About as dangerous as I like to go. #iteachphysics #STEM #Science

 

Capstone Day 5

 Playing with Blockly in @pascoscientific  capstone. Trying to try out the experiments in the online course. The next course is on Sparkvue on 30th Aug. Sparkvue is free on Phones with makes it ideal for students. #Physics #iteachphysics #STEM #Science

Pasco Capstone Course Day 1

 Recreating the exercises from

@pascoscientific

capstone course yesterday. Amazing how many little bits I leant. Looking forward to the next session. All about #Physics #iteachphysics #STEM

Optics

 A level #Physics Needing to do a little revision of #GCSE #science before going onto more advanced stuff. The candle seems to be so more effective than other light sources for understanding. #iteachphysics #STEM

Plastic Strip Tester

 #GCSE #Physics Using a plastic strip Tester on different plastic and paper bags experiment to find the breaking points of the different bags by different manufacturers. Students are surprised at the results. #STEM #iteatchphysics #Science

Resolution of Forces

 A Level #Physics Resolution of Forces using a magnetic whiteboard a few magnets and some string. Easy to move around - change the length and to set and resolve new problems. #iteachphysics #STEM #science
