Carbon and Silicon

 

At first, students mistook them for shiny metals. But examining hardness, conductivity & density revealed their true nature: Graphite (carbon) & pure silicon! 🧪🔍 #ScienceExploration #MaterialsProperties

Pasco Wish List

 Something to go on my wish list for this year is a good-quality linear air track from @Pascoscientific. When I have used one before, they haven't been too good. My only problem is finding a very quiet air pump in the UK

Math isn't just Algebra and Geometry

Math isn't just Algebra and Geometry! 🤯 AQA level 3 in Mathematical Studies covers practical topics like Taxes, Student Loans, and Mortgages. Finally, useful things in Math you wish you were taught earlier! 🙌 #MathForLife #RealWorldMath

Using a spring Bond Model

Used a spring bond model to show the contrast between specific heat capacity and specific latent heat before conducting our experiments #physics #education

 

Evolution

 How do various lifeforms evolve? And why do some vastly different animals resemble each other? So many questions, so much to uncover. #evolution #biodiversity

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

Earth Day investigating Minerals

As Earth Day arrives, the students are looking at some of the Earth's minerals and how they are running out, and some will be depleted in a few years if we continue raising awareness on resources and climate change.
