Pascals Vases
Pascals Vases. Something to get the students to think about. They nearly all got it wrong and were surprised at the results until all the equations came out.

Chiral molecules
Students seem unconvinced about chiral molecules. Drawing them on paper they argue, but once they play with the @snatoms models they are more convinced, and once they see the rotation of D-glucose they are convinced they are mirror images of each other.

A Level Maths
Is A Level Maths needed for A level physics - from years of experience the answer is yes and further maths too should be a requirement if university physics is the aim, but I still have many students who don't chose maths and struggle as a result of this.

How hot is that
The infrared thermometer is possibly one of the most popular tools in the lab. The Students use it not just for the experiment s in hand but also at looking at the varying temperatures of everything in the lab.

Measuring the acceleration due to gravity using a @lego brick. Pretty accurate and repeatable results. I like give students various alternate ways of doing the same experiment and it shows how things can be measured and achieved in different ways
