Protractor Advantage


 A 360-degree protractor allows for greater flexibility and accuracy in measuring and drawing angles, as it covers the full range of angles from 0 to 360 degrees. A 180-degree protractor is limited to measuring only half of this range, which can be a disadvantage when working with more complex angles. #MathTools #Geometry #Trigonometry

Sodium


Some things are much easier to revise and learn in chemistry than others. One of the easiest is to know the properties of Sodium. Watching this experiment live, cutting the Sodium with a knife seeing the colour change as the metal reacts with air, and then reacting with water in class is often a thing the students never forget.

Mitosis


 Slide making and staining and then trying to look for mitosis happening. Trying to find the different stages of mitosis is quite tricky at this magnification. This was one of the best slides.
