Terminal Velocity in Glycerol

GCSE Physics Tuition: We are looking at Terminal velocity using glycerol as a medium. Using the @pascoscientific rotary motion sensor and capstone, we could easily see how the weight accelerated and then slowed to a terminal velocity. The cord has no measurable effect.

 

Fluid Mosaic Model

 A-Level Biology Tuition: The Fluid Mosaic Model. Starting with washing up bubbles to complex structures held in a double membrane with unique proteins that fit inside and can allow certain molecules to pass through under control.

Sampling Methods

 A-Level Sociology Tuition: Choosing the Sampling Frame - getting a truly representative sample is essential if the data captured is to be believed. Trying experiments on representative and non-representative populations and observing the results.

Barcode Scanning

 GCSE Computing Tuition: We are learning how to read barcodes and about error correction when using a USB Barcode scanner and then putting this into a Python program. Learning real-world skills and finding links between Math and Computing.

SOLVATION

 A-Level Chemistry Tuition: Investigating how ionic substances dissolve in a polar liquid like water and how the ions can then conduct electricity. Introducing the students to programmes like Chemsketch and Chemix.

Light object vs heavy target

What happens when we have an Elastic collision with a Light object vs heavy target

Pasco electrical simulation

 GCSE and A-Level Physics Tuition: Using the @pascoscientific Capstone electrical Circuit simulator to design, draw, and emulate different circuits using EU symbols. The resistances of the components can be changed, and when an Ammeter is added, the expected readings are displayed.
