Exothermic reaction of Zinc and Copper Sulfate

 Using @pascoscientific capstone to capture the temperature change when Zinc is added to Copper Sulfate. The cooling rate can easily be measured and the total heat extrapolated. #iteachchemistry #Science

New Oscilloscope

 Trying out my new oscilloscope before I do any experiments with the students, so I am confident in its use and what the buttons do and there are lots on this one #iteachphysics




Doppler Rocket

Demonstrating the Doppler effect with the @pascoscientific Doppler Rocket: As the rocket moves away, students can hear the pitch drop (red s...
