Matricies

 Learning what problems you can solve with matrices at GCSE and A-Level is key. Some problems become surprisingly easy when framed as a matrix! #GCSEMaths #ALevelMaths #Matrices

Centre of Mass

 Measuring the centre of Mass in a variety of objects a part of A-level Physics. More difficult examples create some problems when the centre of mass is not on the object, and other weird objects which change their centre of mass as they move.

Blood Typing

GCSE Biology Playing detective identifying blood using simple ABO blood tests on artificial blood. Fun and educational, leading to an understanding of tissue rejection and markers on cells for identification.
