Goldleaf Electroscope

 I really hadn't appreciated how hard it would be to get a gold-leaf electroscope working. The first model I had used dutch metal and I couldn't get it to work, but this model with real gold leaf did work eventually with me leaning how to attached the gold leaf properly. Putting the gold-leaf on is really quite difficult until you know how.

Woolly Human Gut

Specific Heat Capacity

 Managed 4 specific Heat capacity experiments, Copper, Brass, Aluminium and Iron in 1 hour using @pascoscientific wireless thermometer and Joulemeter from @SciChemEdu  #iteachphysics

Looking at Hydrides

Using @Snatoms to look at the hydrides comparing their properties and looking at hydrogen bonding.

Investigating Heating and cooling using a couple of @pascoscientific wireless thermometers and Capstone. The difference was very dramatic and was much better than using a Leslie cube and different coloured cans. #iteachphysics
