Synth Setup


 Setting up my synth to do some background music. I can use both a hardware and a software setup; sometimes, I use the software to make the hardware sound different. Still looking for that signature sound. One day, I might stumble across it.

Rates of Reaction

GCSE Chemistry Tuition: When covering revision for a test, nothing can beat the @pascoscientific colourimeter to create a concentration reaction curve this fast. In just 20 minutes, we had done 5 different concentrations of thiosulfate vs acid and got these results.

Foundation Maths


 GCSE Foundation Math Tuition: We are learning probability concepts - probably not for the first time. We are linking the real world with the world of Math - making some concepts easier to retain.

Momentum


 GCSE Physics - Learning all about momentum mass x velocity and how the momentum before a collision is the same as the momentum after the collision.

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.
