Using Snatoms to explain solvation
Solvation
is one of those very hard topics to understand. We have been using the Snatoms
to try and make solvation slightly easier to follow. We can see the idea behind
size and how the different molecules can bind to one another. We can show how
the shape of the molecules makes a difference. We can then help explain what
ligands are and how they make sometimes those really pretty colours.

Terminal Velocity
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35Gl4JAgWuk
At
over 2m tall this tube filled with water can help work out the terminal
velocity of an object as it sinks through water. Using a #PASCO rotary sensory,
we dropped a brass weight ( 25g) attached to a piece of string. As the ball
fall it turned the motion sensor which in turn recorded the distance travelled,
the velocity of the weight and its acceleration.
