Chemistry Shells

 Looking at electrons in shells with year 8. Watching the light dawn on faces as Lithium and Fluorine combine by donating and receiving elections. Magic #teachchemistry #Science #STEM @ChatChemistry

Centre of Mass

 #Physics Centre of Mass. The students asked why I had a hanging basket indoors. Now they know. The used phones as inclinometers and looked at the stability of masses at different heights. #iteachphysics #Science #STEM

Westminster Electric Motor

 #Physics Demonstrating the Westminster Electric Motor. The students wind the coil and create a set of brushes and get the motor to work. Using Flemings left hand rule to work out the direction of rotation. #iteachphysics #Science #STEM

Simple Electric Motor

 #Physics #GCSE Looking at Flemings Motor Rule and how electric motors work starting with this very simple design. #iteachphysics #Science #STEM This design is nothing more than a coil of wire resting on two pieces of wire and a strong magnet. According to Flemings Left Hand Rule when a wire carrying an electric current comes into a magnetic field then movement happens.

Lung Repair

 Doing some artificial lung surgery of my lung model. After a few years the rubber has perished and needs replacing, so new rubber bands and balloons required. #Science #STEM @chatbiology #iteachbiology

g by freefall

 #Physics The @LEGO_Group technics is out measuring a ball bearing falling 50cm. It comes up with a very accurate and reproducible value of g. #iteachphysics #Science #STEM

Diving Analysis

 #Physics Using @pascoscientific Capstone to look at one of my students on a spring board and diving. Using Capstone we can analyse her movement, PE and KE. #iteachphysics #Science #STEM
