Resolution of Forces

 A Level #Physics Resolution of Forces using a magnetic whiteboard a few magnets and some string. Easy to move around - change the length and to set and resolve new problems. #iteachphysics #STEM #science

Ball drop

 #Physics Playing with the strobe and a @pascoscientific metal metre rule to work out the acceleration due to gravity. The Strobe was at 15Hz and by looking at the ruler we can work out the acceleration. #iteachphysics #science #STEM

Two Nodding birds

 Two Nodding birds. Identical Mass , Liquid etc. But they have very different periods. Why? Something to get my A level #Physics Students thinking about (they can play with them as well) #iteachphysics #science #stem A bit of fun to get them interested.
