Peacock Ore

 Behold #PeacockOre – a dazzling delight of nature. The colours dance & shift as you move it around. It's a beautiful blend of copper & iron sulfides, chemically Cu5FeS4. Easily one of the most enchanting ores out there. #Minerals #Geology

Rates of Reactions

Lots of use of the @Pascoscientific kit this week, today measuring the rates of reactions at different temperatures, plotting the rates, and trying to work out the relationship. After a go on the board the students discovered that Capstone could do this automatically.

 

Modelling Mechanics

 Using the inclined plane and a Newton meter to examine the forces involved. Changing the runway surface to change the friction coefficient to investigate how the forces change. Altering the angle to change the sin and cos values. Lots of calculator work.

Perpendicular Gradient Rule

I was going through some AS Maths Questions with some students and I was surprised that none of them had met the Perpendicular Gradient Rule

Gradient of Line 1 x Gradient of Line 2 = -1 if perpendicular

Heating and Cooling

Heating and Cooling using a couple of @Pascoscientific wireless thermometers linked to Capstone to capture and print out the data. The students were deciding on whether black or white radiators were the best.

 

Ready for Microbiology

 Kit's sterilized, broth brewed. Agar slopes set, plates poured. All set for students to dive into learning aseptic technique! #ScienceInProgress #LabReady

Analog Book revision

Just got the updated #AnalogBook! Packed with new insights on analogue circuits & DIY projects. Perfect for my students since time is a rare commodity. Loving this free upgrade! #CircuitProjects #EdTech
