Doing Titrations the easy way

 #Chemistry Doing Titrations the easy way showing the temp and PH curves using @pascoscientific drop counter and Capstone. Students can see the reaction going on rather than finding an arbitrary end point. Good discussion. #Science #STEM

Centre of Mass

 #Physics Centre of Mass. The students asked why I had a hanging basket indoors. Now they know. The used phones as inclinometers and looked at the stability of masses at different heights. #iteachphysics #Science #STEM

Simple Electric Motor

 #Physics #GCSE Looking at Flemings Motor Rule and how electric motors work starting with this very simple design. #iteachphysics #Science #STEM This design is nothing more than a coil of wire resting on two pieces of wire and a strong magnet. According to Flemings Left Hand Rule when a wire carrying an electric current comes into a magnetic field then movement happens.
