Investigating catalysts. The student was so slow in lighting the spill the experiment was over before he was ready - we had to do it again after this.

Investigaing a CRT.
I grew up with CRT's, but for most of the students they have not seen one, so I took off the case from the Oscilloscope to show all the parts and how it works.

Ionic Shapes
We used a Brother Scan'n'Cut machine to cut out 1+, 2+ and 3+ ions along with the 2- and 1- counterparts. The students seem to find it easier to create and write down chemical formulae.

I had some problems breathing then I realised there was a hole in my diaphragm, so after a few minutes the rubber was replaced and I could breath again. Fortunately this was the model not me.

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.
