Momentum

The @pascoscientific Smart carts excel at momentum equations. Even with quickly done student data the students can determine the relationships between mass and velocity in collisions

Getting into Coding

I find writing questions is hard. It is easier to start with the answer and find numbers that work rather than designing a question. Here coding comes in generating  lots of different quadratic equations at different levels. Work in progress.

Numbers of batteries and strength of magmetic field

 GCSE Physics looking at increasing the number of batteries and the relative strength of the magnetic field as measured by the number of croc clips that could be picked up

Experimental Probability

Having a go at experimental probability using a 3-D printed dice tower and 10 dice of different types - 4, 6 10, 12 and 20 sided.

 

Ready for a heart dissection

Preparing for a heart dissection. Making sure all the scalpels have new sharp blades and the students have all the tools for the job

 

Chromatography

 We took some ground up plant leaves and ran them in a chromatogram using 3 parts hexane, 1 part chloroform and 1 part Acetone. The students had not met using solvents other than water and were surprised at the results.

Doing Maths online

Some subjects are much easier to teach online. Maths is one of them, Using products like openboard the teacher can project the board in front of the student, but what is the best way of getting to the process back? Using openboard on the students systems works well.
