Programming Hardware

 Programming circuits to do something gives great feedback whether the light goes on or the lift rises. But getting the students to design those circuits is another problem altogether.

Air Quality

It might be going to get hot, but how will this affect the Air quality? I have the @thepocketlab air quality sensor out to record the data as well as the temperature
 

Recording the Heatwave

 

Setting up the @pascoscientific wireless weather sensor to record the heatwave. The Sensor has great data logging facilities so I can track the temperature over the next few days

Getting a very thin Slice

 Using a microtome (safe) and a cut throat razor (not safe) to get thin sections of a pineapple leaf. We managed some good slides.

The best fuel

How does the length of the carbon chain affect the heat given out by different alcohols burning. The students had to design the most efficient way of capturing all the heat, and eventually understood about the amount of energy in bonds.

Partial Fractions

 Working from GCSE to A level and from year 1 to year 2 at A Level. Spending some "slack time" catching up with things gone by and new ideas to come.
