3D Protein Viewer

 A-Level Biology Tuition: Tools I only dreamed of made possible with AlphaFold. This AI system developed by Google DeepMind predicts a protein’s 3D structure from its amino acid sequence and the students can use it.

Bonding

 A-Level Psychology Tuition: Relationships. Investigating the evidence that individuals who form secure infant attachments go on to enjoy long-lasting and loving adult relationships. Failure to do this seems to lead to broken relationships later in life.

And gate

 A-Level Computing Tuition: Creating our own  AND gate to understand and see how it worked using a BBC Microbit to control and power the chip.

Burning Magnesium Ribbon

 Year 9 Chemistry Tuition. Burning magnesium ribbons in the air is one of my favourite experiments. This is the most talked about experiment in school science because the students can do it themselves.

Pressure in a balloon

 GCSE Physics Tuition: Is the air pressure higher in an inflated balloon than outside air pressure. I had the whole class betting against me and they were wrong. The air pressure was the same - then we had to work out why. Using the @pascoscientific pressure sensor.

Polar Coordinates

In A-Level Further Maths Tuition, we played around with polar coordinates and used the Casio CG50 calculator to graph some of the equations we studied. Experimenting with different values, the students could see the effect on the shape of the graph.

 

Pressure

 GCSE Physics Tuition: Investigating Forces and Pressure. Looking at the force and pressure of a stiletto heel. We looked at why I put some blutack on the table to protect it and what happened to the wood when I didn't. A good excuse for some of the ladies to show off their shoes.
