Simple Harmonic Motion Pendulum

 Investigating more A level #Physics Simple Harmonic Motion using @pascoscientific metre rule and the rotary motion sensor. The students were finding out how changing the mass and the length of the pendulum affected the period. #iteachphysics

Furure Foods

 New Video on Future Foods. https://youtu.be/IJXQmMu_IRE

We look at what foods will will need to consider eating in the near future. #climatechange #ClimateTwitter #education


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.
