Online Chemistry

 Investigating Chemistry mechanisms online using Snatoms to examine how nucleophilic and electrophilic substitution work in 3D.

Desalination

 Helping students to understand distillation using a cold finger to help with the desalination of water. Sea water is harder to come by here in the Middle of England so we made our own from sea salt crystals from Cornwall.

Doppler Rocket

Teaching out on the pavement using the @pascoscientific Doppler Rocket to demonstrate the Doppler effect as the sound changes as the rocket comes towards you and moves away. Helping us to learn about red shift in a practical way.

 

Invariant Matrices

Further Maths  - Investigating Linear Transformations. Discovering Invariant Points and Lines. Learning how Matricies can help real-world problems.
 

Pascals Vases

 Lots of experiments are done every year, but sometimes, looking at different experiments, like Pascal's Vases, provides some interesting ideas, especially to help students think about designing experiments.

Compound Microscopes

Learning how to make slides of stained cheek cells and view them on a Compound Microscope and then record the sample by using the students' phones. Not many successes but we had more luck with some prepared slides.

 

Educational Terms

These are a few of the Abbreviations  I use when marking students' work. What ones do you use or have been used on you?
