Matrices

 Learning about Matrices. Finding determinants, calculating inverse Matrices and trying to solve 3 variable simultaneous equations. A level further Maths

GCSE Optics

 Looking at how a flame is turned upside down as the image passes through a lens and reflected on a screen at the far end. Using the optics bench with the scale built in we quickly worked out the relationships to achieve this

Dissecting a Lamb Pluck

 Dissecting a lamb pluck, inflating the lungs, examining the heart, and looking at the diaphragm and the liver. The lungs differ from what the books show,  in and the hole to the lungs before the bronchioles.

Hydrocarbon burning

 

@chemix diagram helped the students go from the design to the reality in minutes.

Terminal velocity

A @pascoscientific rotary motion sensor measuring a thin string attached to different shaped weights. The tube is 2m long and filled with water can determine the max velocity. The mass is wrapped tin the same mass of different shapes of plasticine to see the effect of streamlining

Radial Electric Field

 Observing a radial electric field. Excellent results are achieved using just one or two turns on the Wimshurst machine and thick gauge wire with the castor Oil and Semolina

Ideal Gas

 

Investigating the relationship between temp and pressure using the @pascoscientific ideal gas kit and Capstone. The students clearly saw that as the volume halved, the pressure doubled, and the temperature spiked.
