#Physics Taking wind speed readings using the PASCO scientific wireless weather station. Grabbing some monthly data on the weather in the UK. Relating to streamlining and speeds of cars and lorries. Looking at some wind modelling around built up areas and exposed areas. Surprising that even in low winds in some built up areas because of the layout of the buildings there can be distorted wind effects #iteachphysics #Science #STEM

Doing Titrations the easy way
#Chemistry Doing Titrations the easy way showing the temp and PH curves using @pascoscientific drop counter and Capstone. Students can see the reaction going on rather than finding an arbitrary end point. Good discussion. #Science #STEM

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
