Recording the Heatwave

 

Setting up the @pascoscientific wireless weather sensor to record the heatwave. The Sensor has great data logging facilities so I can track the temperature over the next few days

Getting a very thin Slice

 Using a microtome (safe) and a cut throat razor (not safe) to get thin sections of a pineapple leaf. We managed some good slides.

The best fuel

How does the length of the carbon chain affect the heat given out by different alcohols burning. The students had to design the most efficient way of capturing all the heat, and eventually understood about the amount of energy in bonds.

Partial Fractions

 Working from GCSE to A level and from year 1 to year 2 at A Level. Spending some "slack time" catching up with things gone by and new ideas to come.

Long Scale Galvanometer

 My long scale Galvanometer arrived, so now it is considerably easier to see evens rather than trying to observe a needle flickering. So now we should be able to do some more interesting experiments

Investigating ECG

Investigating the students ECG using the @Pascoscientific sensor and Capstone to gather and analyse the data. This gave a clear view of what was going on in the heart of healthy A level Biology students
 

Chromatic Bells

 Looking at Chromatic bells. Why is a scale a scale? How do the black notes work? What are the frequencies? Is the gap the same? Having some fun with music and physics.
