Levers and Weighting machines
How much does this weigh? Exploring different tools for measurement: a lever arm balance, a Newton meter, and a set of scales with their weights. Hands-on learning at its best! #Physics #Measurement

Understanding Protein Synthesis
Getting to grips with protein synthesis in A-level Biology, from looking at the DNA structure to transcription to RNA and then translating the RNA sequence to a Protein in a Ribosome and seeing how the protein molecule folds to create an active protein.

Sociology Dependency Theory
In A-level sociology, we investigate how dependency theory explains development in different parts of the world and how the forces of a global capitalist society operate against and press the poorer countries that have yet to develop.

Ordering the reactivity of metals
Exploring the relative reactivity of metals with acid: Magnesium reacted vigorously, while copper showed no reaction. Differentiating zinc and iron was trickier but became clearer with cleaned surfaces. Reactivity order: Mg > Zn > Fe > Cu. #Chemistry #ScienceExperiment
