Density

 Measuring Mass and Volume to calculate the Density of different materials. Looking at GCSE #Physics to compare the ease of solids liquids and irregular shaped objects to determine their densities. The mass of a block of tungsten shocks the students. #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
