Using Linux

 

Most of my students use PC's. A few use Macs and the odd one uses a Chromebook. None use Linux, but we look at adding this to an older PC and finding that it works great and opens up a new world to explore.

Optics

Viewing a candle through a convex lens and onto a screen – a simple setup revealing a world of optics and light magic. Making telescopes and microscopes and simple projectors. #Optics #ScienceInAction 🕯️🔬

Snatoms to balance equations

 Balancing organic chem equations like ethane combustion with @snatoms! Students found the oxygen atom count surprising, but quickly realized calculating from products made it simple. #ChemistryFun #SnatomsInAction

Batteries changed and firmware updated

The batteries changed, and the firmware was all updated. Ready to use all the @pascoscientific wired and wireless sensors

Waterbath

Waterbaths are expensive things. But a cheaper alternative is to use a sous vide. The temperature is accurate to 0.1C, and it is much cheaper than a thermostatically controlled waterbath. Timings are shorter but then so are the lessons.
