LIgands

Diving into ligand structures with #Snatoms models! Crafting and examining their vibrant colours. The one to stand out? Copper Chloride - goes yellow when surrounded by Cl. A fun surprise for the students! 🧪💛#ChemistryInAction

 

Rapid SHM

 

I had 10 minutes of the lesson left, and the student and I  were online talking about Simple Harmonic Motion. He hadn't done or seen the experiments. I got out the equipment and @pascoscientific Capstone and sensors and in 10 mins we were done

Exam Paper Practice

 More and more Maths papers to practice. The students can't seem to get enough questions of the correct standard to practice, but as they do so, their scores are going up and up.

Sonometer

 Uncovering the mysteries of a sonometer! Using a tuning fork & paper rider to find out wire pitch. Exploring the intriguing links between wire thickness, tension, and pitch. #PhysicsInAction #Sonometer

Last day of Biology revision

It's the last day of Biology revision. Everything from microscopes and Cell biology to Organisation and Infection and response and Bioenergetics. It is amazing what some students can cram in a day.

 

Using Linux

 

Most of my students use PC's. A few use Macs and the odd one uses a Chromebook. None use Linux, but we look at adding this to an older PC and finding that it works great and opens up a new world to explore.

Optics

Viewing a candle through a convex lens and onto a screen – a simple setup revealing a world of optics and light magic. Making telescopes and microscopes and simple projectors. #Optics #ScienceInAction 🕯️🔬
