Ideal Gas Law
Exploring the ideal gas Law with the @pascoscientific Ideal Gas experiment with the chemistry sensor connected to a wireless module so we can measure both the temperature and the pressure. The temperature change can be recorded as the pressure is changed by moving the syringe.

Archimedes Bucket and Cylinder
I measure the weight of a mass using a spring balance, then submerge it in water. The buoyant force reduces the weight, but adding the same mass of water to the bucket restores it. A simple and clever demonstration of how the displaced water equals the mass added!

Sugar added to food
Exploring sweet taste preferences in A-Level Psychology: Evolutionary pressures associate sweetness with high energy and non-toxicity. Food companies exploit this by adding excessive sugar to products, appealing to our natural instincts. #Psychology #FoodScience

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
