phone quadrat

 Working on the latest version of the phone quadrat. The phone placed on top of the quadrat takes photos, so it is so much easier to analyse the transects in the classroom #Biology #STEM #iteachbiology @chatbiology

Emission Spectra

 Using a paper spectrometer and a @pascoscientific  spectrometer to look at the emission spectra of neon and Helium and other gases. #Physics #iteachphysics #STEM #Science

I didn't have the correct lead

 Needed 3.5mm Jack to Banana plug to plug in a speaker to a signal generator. So I had to 3.5mm Jack -> phono -> bnc female -> BNC double male -> bnc-> banana Phew!! And it worked!!

Burning a crisp

 Burning a crisp to work out its energy #STEM @ChatBiology We got 200kJ for 100g for crisps instead of the packet saying 2000kJ Gave the students a headache working out why, when they did the experiment so carefully using @pascoscientific capstone. #iteachbiology #Science

Uranium

#Alevel #Physics Using a @pascoscientific GM counter to look at the radiation count of a flake of Uranium Paint. About as dangerous as I like to go. #iteachphysics #STEM #Science

 

Capstone Day 5

 Playing with Blockly in @pascoscientific  capstone. Trying to try out the experiments in the online course. The next course is on Sparkvue on 30th Aug. Sparkvue is free on Phones with makes it ideal for students. #Physics #iteachphysics #STEM #Science

Pasco Capstone Course Day 1

 Recreating the exercises from

@pascoscientific

capstone course yesterday. Amazing how many little bits I leant. Looking forward to the next session. All about #Physics #iteachphysics #STEM
