Terminal velocity

A @pascoscientific rotary motion sensor measuring a thin string attached to different shaped weights. The tube is 2m long and filled with water can determine the max velocity. The mass is wrapped tin the same mass of different shapes of plasticine to see the effect of streamlining

Radial Electric Field

 Observing a radial electric field. Excellent results are achieved using just one or two turns on the Wimshurst machine and thick gauge wire with the castor Oil and Semolina

Ideal Gas

 

Investigating the relationship between temp and pressure using the @pascoscientific ideal gas kit and Capstone. The students clearly saw that as the volume halved, the pressure doubled, and the temperature spiked.

Naming Organic Chemistry

 It's glycine made from @snatoms, but its IUPAC name is much more difficult to work out

Centre of Mass Experiment

 An opaque plastic container on an inclined plane. Some have a high centre of mass and some have a low centre of mass. Working out which is which using an inclinometer app on a phone. Making Phones useful in the lab and devising experiments to test out

Old and New Technology

 Using old and new technology together, with a tickertape recording and the @pascoscoientific smart cart generating a realistic record of the journey down the track

Shapes of molecules across a period

Looking at the shapes of molecules changing as we move across a period. Fun naming some of the shapes and working out the angles, then comparing Methane, Ammonia and Water and why the angles change
