Practical uses of a thermistor

 #Physics Investigating the properties of a thermistor using Locktronics by @MatrixTSL and then having to turn this into a make shift digital thermometer using some coding on a Raspberry Pi and some Python. #iteachphysics #Science #STEM

Resistors give off heat

 #Physics trying to show that resistors give off heat is fairly difficult, but with this device it is easy. The students loved it. #iteachphysics #Science #STEM

mass spectrometer

 Teaching how a mass spectrometer works. It one of those machines I have always wanted but I don't really know what I would do with it if I had one. #iteachphysics

What is difference between theory and practical?

 What is difference between theory and practical? Practical should lead to theory and then better learning and understanding. But many students don't do practicals and some don't see demos. #iteachphysics #Science

How the National Grid Works

 #Physics Teaching how the National Grid works https://youtu.be/P0j5VeRtGKo using a step up and a step down transformer or not and watching it fail. My pylons I am told make the difference. #iteachphysics #Science #STEM

Fermentation

 Turning all that sugar into alcohol and Carbon dioxide. One of the fun practicals learning about microbes and fermentation.

Trying out electronics

 #Physics Learning about electricity is learning what does work and what doesn't. Here practical work, seems far better than doing the theory. The students learn more and faster, here using Locktronics #iteachphysics #Science #STEM @MatrixTSL
