Galileo's Bells

 Using Galileo's Bells to demonstrate the square relationship of acceleration: With the @pascoscientific smartcart for precise data recording and a very inaccurate water clock for interval timing. A perfect blend of modern tech and historical methods! #Physics #STEM

Sum and Products of the roots of Polynomials

 Exploring the sum and product of polynomial roots: Teaching students how coefficients reveal the relationships between roots and equations. A key concept bridging algebra and deeper mathematical insight! #MathsEducation #Polynomials

Levers and Weighting machines

 How much does this weigh? Exploring different tools for measurement: a lever arm balance, a Newton meter, and a set of scales with their weights. Hands-on learning at its best! #Physics #Measurement

Understanding Protein Synthesis

 Getting to grips with protein synthesis in A-level Biology, from looking at the DNA structure to transcription to RNA and then translating the RNA sequence to a Protein in a Ribosome and seeing how the protein molecule folds to create an active protein.

Sociology Dependency Theory

In A-level sociology, we investigate how dependency theory explains development in different parts of the world and how the forces of a global capitalist society operate against and press the poorer countries that have yet to develop.

Computing projects nearly done

 This year's A-Level Computing projects are nearly complete! Building and getting them to work is just half the battle—documenting the process, including testing, meetings, and improvements, is where the real challenge lies. #ALevelComputing #ProjectWork

Ordering the reactivity of metals

Exploring the relative reactivity of metals with acid: Magnesium reacted vigorously, while copper showed no reaction. Differentiating zinc and iron was trickier but became clearer with cleaned surfaces. Reactivity order: Mg > Zn > Fe > Cu. #Chemistry #ScienceExperiment
