Youngs Double Slit Experiment

We looked at Young's Double Slit Experiment. None of the students knew about it, so we made predictions about what would be seen and then had to come up with explanations of what happened. We got some interesting ideas not necessarily based on Physics.

 

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

Infected cells game

Playing the infected cells simulation where cells with a counter are infected and those without aren't. As vaccines take effect, infection numbers plummet. Try running the simulation in different ways to see varying effects! #infectedcells #simulation #vaccines

 

Creating working traffic lights

 Creating a traffic light program using Python on a Pi-Top 4 computer, LEDs, and a switch to trigger the sequence. #ALevelComputing #PythonProgramming #RaspberryPi #TrafficLights

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.

Fun Physics

Physics can be quite fun and amusing at times. A glass of water, a piece of paper, and a bowl ready for when things go awry. #ScienceFun #PhysicsExperiment

Simple Harmonic Motion

With a @pascoscientific Force Sensor at the top of a spring and an Ultrasonic Motion sensor at the bottom, the phase relationship between force, distance, velocity and acceleration can be examined and taught online within minutes.
