Smartcart with adjustable fan

The @pascoscientific smart cart with the fan is great for some experiments, but using the template on the site, you can 3D print a base for the fan which allows the fan to be turned in all sort of angles which is even more useful especially for resolution of vectors.

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.
