Vectors

 One of the best ways of demonstrating vectors using a @pascoscientific Smartcart with a fan, set at an angle. Changing the angle of the fan shows dramatically how the angle of the force affects the velocity of the cart along the track at Hemel Private Tuition

Writing new questions

 One thing that makes a difference at Hemel Private Tuition is that I write a significant number of additional Maths questions and problems with their worked solutions for my students. Practice makes perfect, and having the right type and number of questions makes the difference.

A more unusual diffraction

 Looking at diffraction, but a more unusual twist on the pencil in a glass by adding other liquids. Trying Oil and other organic solvents to see how they affect the diffraction of light @Hemel Private Tuition

Root tip Squashes

Network Homework

 A-level Computing Homework analyses your home network for 30 seconds using Wireshark. Who would have guessed that the network is so busy with different devices and data protocols, getting emails - and checking on machines

Pendulums

 Such great fun with pendulums. Changing the mass or pushing it harder or softer has no effect on the Period. Changing the paths from back and forth to more elliptical also has no effect, only changing the length makes a difference.

Electrolysis

Time in the holidays to go over some of the required practicals like electrolysis. We can spend some more time repeating the experiments and making sure that they are thoroughly understood @ Hemel Private Tuition
