Force table
Teaching A Level #Physics online using a force table. The student needed to tell me which hander to add and remove masses to achieve balanced forces. With some students still isolating it is essential that they do some practical work #iteachphysics

Making a Salt from an insoluble metal oxide and Acid
A busy morning making Copper Sulfate from Copper Oxide and Sulfuric Acid. The students enjoy doing the practicals they are not able or allowed to do at school. This one is a required practical that the school only told them about. #teaching I made a full video of this on YouTube which is very popular.
