Investigating Photosynthesis

 Investigating Photosynthesis and the distance of the light source and the inverse square law. I find you have to get the light very close to get bubbles that you can measure.

Making own resistor sets

 Making up our own resistors using Locktronics by @MatrixTSL Predicting The total resistance and then measuring it to see if correct using Ohms Law. #iteachphysics #STEM

Simple Distillation

 Doing a distillation in organic chemistry to separate the products. Explaining why the water has to go up the condenser - seemed so strange to the students.

Specific Heat Capacity

 Using @pascoscientific Capstone to look at specific heat capacities Graphs showed the different uptakes of of the heat in the same time, which gave a better idea of this concept of specific heat capacity. #iteachphysics @chatphysics #STEM

Practical uses of a thermistor

 #Physics Investigating the properties of a thermistor using Locktronics by @MatrixTSL and then having to turn this into a make shift digital thermometer using some coding on a Raspberry Pi and some Python. #iteachphysics #Science #STEM

Resistors give off heat

 #Physics trying to show that resistors give off heat is fairly difficult, but with this device it is easy. The students loved it. #iteachphysics #Science #STEM

mass spectrometer

 Teaching how a mass spectrometer works. It one of those machines I have always wanted but I don't really know what I would do with it if I had one. #iteachphysics
