Rates of Concentration


A-level Chemistry working with rates of reactions, using the @Pascoscientific colourimeter to capture the responses of different concentrations of sodium thiosulfate and hydrochloric acid reacting so they can draw accurate rate graphs in Capstone

Excel to solve Mechanics

Diving into #Excel to tackle basic mechanics problems. As students progress, they encounter more complex #Maths. Yet, post-education, they often utilize Excel over advanced Maths in their businesses. Let's get ahead of the curve by integrating real-world #Physics education early. #STEM

Measuring Exothermic reactions

Trying 0.1g then 0.2g and then 0.3g Magnesium with 1M Copper Sulfate and comparing the temperature rise and the rate of that rise. The orange line was different since we used @pascoscientific Sparkvue rather than Capstone to capture the data.
