The most useful sensor I have is the @pascoscientific ultrasonic sensor. It gets used in most experiments since measuring some sort of distance is involved. It's great at distance measurements over about 15cm. At distances less than 15cm, you have to get creative.

Real world Maths
#Maths is more than equations. It's about solving real-world problems. From integration to logs & indices, where do you see these concepts come to life in your everyday routine? #RealWorldMaths

What is temperature?
Online A-level Physics What is temperature? Heat moves from a hotter body to a colder body, and in doing so, we can see this energy movement powering the fan.

Dihybrid cross
Learning about dihybrid crosses resulted from doing lots of crosses with Drosophila over many weeks. Now the students seem to occasionally see this, only in a textbook and wonder what it is all about. Students don't see a Punnett square as explaining reality.

Networking
Learning about how networks work. This then involves building a server and a couple of workstations and getting them to connect to one another. Raspberry Pi's work well for this. We build wired and wireless networks.

Optically Active
A simple but amazing property of some substances like Glucose to rotate polarised light. This is Dextrose and Laevose rotates the same amount but in the opposite direction
