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.

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.
