Zip line expt


 Just did the coolest experiment with @pascoscientific tension protractors! Used them to calculate angles for a zip line, then measured distances and forces by sliding down a weight. So much fun! #STEMeducation #physicsrocks

Copper Sulfate and Magnesium

A simple displacement reaction between Magnesium and Copper Sulfate during revision to simulate memories of all the different reactions and experiments the students had done. Before doing this, they could remember just a few; after, they could tell me all about many.

pH Curve

Sometimes I don't have a lot of time to do some experiments especially when doing revision, but using the @Pascoscientific Wireless pH probe and Capstone I can set up the experiment and do it in minutes and produce classic results HCl and NaOH
