Creating a powered pendulum

 Creating a powered pendulum to look at resonance. We collected the data using a motion sensor and displayed in @pascoscientific Capstone. This gave numbers to the effect observed. #iteachphysics #Science #STEM

Maths Day.

Sorting out the Binomial expansion, and binomial probability. Its amazing what two weeks holiday, and Christmas can do to students brains. First Maths in 2 weeks.

 

Fluctuating Gravity Field?

 Using @pascoscientific Sparkvue and track and a Smartcart to work out a value of acceleration due to gravity. In my lab there seems to be a fluctuating gravity well, which seems to constantly change the value of g. #iteachphysics #Science

Air Wedge

 Using an Air Wedge to lift a Butane cannister #Science

Lime water

Setting up to test for Carbon Dioxide - perhaps one of the simplest tests. The students making their own limewater solution, is a good fun way of doing a test and means much more than just doing something. #iteachchemistry #Science @ChatChemistry #STEM

Putting the windings on the Acoustic Levitator

 Putting the windings on the Acoustic Levitator, then soldering. Its keeping us out of mischief.

Acoustic Levitator

 My Holiday Job. I am going to build an acoustic levitator. My wife bought my the kit for Christmas so now I have a little time to see if I can build one of these things to demonstrate to the students. It might not be in the syllabus but its what makes science interesting and fun.
