Collection over water

 A simple experiment that always seems to create problems for students - how to fill a measuring cylinder with water and then invert it without getting a drop of air inside. Cling film works best 

Air pressure, density and temperature

 Creating a test tube submarine. Investigating how the effects of air pressure, temperature and density affect the homemade test tube submarines. 

Math Paper Practice

 Maths papers to start the year. We start with one a week at both A level and GCSE and later after Christmas move up to 2 per week.

Boyles Law

Boyle's Law is a fundamental concept in #Physics and #Chemistry. It states that when the temperature of a gas is kept constant, the pressure and volume are inversely proportional. So, as volume ⬆️, pressure ⬇️, and vice versa. Understanding this law helps us explore the behaviour of gases!

Emmas Heatbeat

Using the electronic stethoscope connected to a phone, to record students' heartbeats
 

Start from Scratch

Sometimes it is best to start with a clean operating system and install everything how and where you want it. Students install Python3, an Apache web server and Django to control their Python programs in a Web environment.

 

Expansion of Metals

Exploring metal heating and properties, especially the bimetallic strip. 🌡️ Some essential topics vanish from the syllabus and skip years 7-9. It's concerning when Year 11 students miss out! 📚 #ScienceEducation #TeachingEssentials
