1:1 Private Teaching in a dedicated classroom
Whilst teaching electrolysis I found out the students knew nothing about what a battery was so we needed to make one. Using Copper and Zinc electrodes connected to a simple LCD clock to shown that it worked. The students found out it was nothing to do with the potato but the choice of metals and some metals made better batteries ( higher voltages) than others. #iteachphysics #Science #STEM
Looking at the changes in pressure when a conical flask of fizzy water is left to stand using a @pascoscientific pressure sensor to record the results. Would it say the same, rise or possibly fall? Year 12 trying to find out. #iteachphysics #Science #STEM
#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
Teaching about Rutherford Scattering online #Physics Needed a Jib as well for this to show the alpha particles being deflected by the Gold Nuclei. #iteachphysics #Science #STEM
#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
New video on comparing vertical and horizontal wind turbines
#Physics Setting up the calorimeter ready to work out the energy in foods. Sir, "Why are we doing chemistry and Biology in Physics?" #iteachphysics #Science #STEM
Why Mechanics Questions Go Wrong (It’s Not the Maths… It’s the Setup) “Most students lose marks in mechanics before they even start the ...
