1:1 Private Teaching in a dedicated classroom
GCSE #Physics Trying out measuring acceleration using bells and a cart travelling down a @pasco.scientific track using our 3D printed bells and a sound sensor since a water clock didn't work well because my reaction times were too slow. The sparkvue software which is free on Android and IOS gave some very good results. #iteachphysics #science #stem
Some success with our A level #microbiology #biology practical looking at garlic and mint as anti-microbial agents. 1 out of 8 worked - Under identical conditions the bugs do as they please. #science #STEM One of the discs Garlic managed a 1.5cm ring of lysed bacteria.
Teaching A level #microbiology My student had to made up the Nutrient broth and make all the Agar plates before she could start the experiment. Much of this is learning aseptic technique. Hopefully all her plates will be clean to start the expt tomorrow. #teaching
Teaching GCSE Biology using a model heart to demonstrate the circulatory system. I find that only half filling with red liquid better shows the direction of the flow.
Two identical tuning forks, one resonance box and a ping pong ball to show how the second tuning fork picks up the sound from the first. #iteachphysics Having fun with physics doing some practice before the lessons.
A level/GCSE #Physics Using a Lightbox as a Darkbox for looking a optics experiments in the lit classroom. Using here a @pascoscientific light source and a Prism to split up light. #iteachphysics @ChatPhysics
Demonstrating the Doppler effect with the @pascoscientific Doppler Rocket: As the rocket moves away, students can hear the pitch drop (red s...
