Exothermic reaction of Zinc and Copper Sulfate

 Using @pascoscientific capstone to capture the temperature change when Zinc is added to Copper Sulfate. The cooling rate can easily be measured and the total heat extrapolated. #iteachchemistry #Science

Snatoms

 Using @snatoms to made models of the molecules we are using. Very fast to make and so easy to change into different versions of the homologous series. #iteachchemistry #Science #STEM

New Oscilloscope

 Trying out my new oscilloscope before I do any experiments with the students, so I am confident in its use and what the buttons do and there are lots on this one #iteachphysics

Measuring the resistance of a length of Wire


 Getting ready to do the resistance is proportional to the length of wire practical. Using a rheostat to visualise the system in a smaller space. Using the Locktronics by @matrixtsl to simplify and explain the circuit
