 Isn't it easy to show velocity Force and Acceleration using a @pascoscientific smartcart, from @SciChemEdu and a vector display. I didn't need all the kit out and after a few minutes the students remembered the experiments to tell me about them. #iteachphysics

 Starting to print on the 3D printer some @pascoscientific diy metre stick torque set. I have ordered a Pasco one through @SciChemEdu with an Aluminium metre rule but I thought I would try out the wooden ruler version.



This is ideal for working out moments and is extremely accurate and very sensitive. Instead of the fulcrum that was designed I am using a modified file so that we can use the rotary motion sensor.

Using @pascoscientific dynamics trolley and an ultrasonic sensor supplied by @SciChemEdu to carry of some Physics Revision. Using these today just as models to remind the students of the experiments they have done.#iteachphysics

3D addons to science equipment


 Just printed some 3D printed addons for the

smartcart from . The reflective block is a bit too loose so we are working on a wider one to publish with a screw fixing.




The rotating block for the smart cart fan looks to be a useful addon.

Back to Practicals


 So glad to be back teaching the students face to face and getting back to letting them do the practical work. Starting today with titrations.

Tension Protractor

  When you need the @pascoscientific tension protractor, nothing is quite like it. The Zipline practical becomes a breeze when you know the ...
