Dissolving Lead Iodide in Hot water
A fun reaction is to mix Potassium Iodide with Lead Nitrate. More fun =is to then heat the solution to drive the reaction backwards and then let the Golden Rain form. It takes a long time to do and so I often prepare another one ahead of time

GCSE to A-Level Maths
Upgrading your Maths - going from GCSE to A-Level is quite a jump and this course makes it much easier. Students learn much harder GCSE problems and how to solve them, which makes the A-level start so much easier.
More Pendulums
Learning all about Pendulums, how changing the swing or changing the mass has no effect on the swing but changing the length of the string does at hemel private tuition.
Physics from first Principles
Students often get the idea that physics is made from the Rules rather than rules to begin created to fit the facts. Here using a @pascoscientific smart cart on a track with Capstone they can write the scientific equations from scratch.

Comparing Linux, windows and an Apple Mac
Comparing the differences in the power of a windows laptop, an Apple Mac Laptop and a rare thing a Linux laptop. Which is the most powerful for the same specification? The Linux version won hands down which surprised the students.

How forces vary on different surfaces
The students expect certain surfaces to have more friction than others but are often surprised by two smooth surfaces that can have a considerable amount of friction at Hemel Private Tuition
