Building a Network

 A-Level Computing: Understanding networking theory is one thing, but building a network from scratch is a whole new challenge! Students configured devices to communicate, added resilience with a load balancer, and set up a firewall for security. #Networking #ComputingEducation

Optically active Glucose

 A-Level Chemistry: Viewing a glucose solution through two polarising filters. The light is initially extinguished, but glucose rotates it, allowing some to pass through. This is dextrose; laevose rotates the light in the opposite direction. #Chemistry #OpticalActivity

Galileo's Bells

 Using Galileo's Bells to demonstrate the square relationship of acceleration: With the @pascoscientific smartcart for precise data recording and a very inaccurate water clock for interval timing. A perfect blend of modern tech and historical methods! #Physics #STEM

Sum and Products of the roots of Polynomials

 Exploring the sum and product of polynomial roots: Teaching students how coefficients reveal the relationships between roots and equations. A key concept bridging algebra and deeper mathematical insight! #MathsEducation #Polynomials

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.
