Sorts and Searches

 How do sorts and searches work, and what are their advantages? Mechanically modelling them to see how they might work gives the students another way to visualise what is going on.

Online lessons

 Teaching online with Zoom. We can still do experiments, but they are harder by remote control or have to be demos. But still, with a selection of cameras and tools, we can still make great lessons to be remembered.

Electrolysis

AQA required practical electrolysis but quite a few year 11 students had not done it so after a quick refresher on the theory they had a go and correctly predicted the chemicals and successfully tested for oxygen, hydrogen and chlorine gases.
 

Changing air Pressure

Could you change the air pressure with just the heat in your hands? The @Pascoscientific Pressure sensor could detect the change in pressure, and the thermometer recorded the change in temperature as the Pressure went up from 99.1 kPa to 100.1 kPa

 

Maths Homework

 Maths Homework - have a go at this Maths Paper. Now we have completed the syllabus practice is essential. With Maths, it is all about practice and learning how to use taught strategies to solve new problems.

Hotwheels PE to KE

Using the Hotwheels track to launch cars from 1m, .75m, .5m and 25cm, and then to measure their KE using a @pascoscientific light gate and Capstone. Working out why KE didn't = gPE was more of a problem because it was better when dropping a ball.

 

Quick and easy online microscope

 Need a quick and easy microscope for online work then grab the phone and add a Macrolens and immediately you can stream the item or get a quick picture of it. A cheap way into the world of macro science.
