Rectangular Compass

 Drawing circles using two pencils and a rectangular-shaped compass. Placing pencils in different holes, circles of various sizes can be created. Many of the students found this easier than using a regular compass.

Looking at Stress

Exploring how stress lines appear in an acrylic shape under polarised light when squeezed. The pressure points were clear and vivid! Ultrasonics can also reveal stress in other materials. Fascinating physics in action!

Antiseptics

Teaching GCSE Biology: Diving into the world of antiseptics! Exploring how they stop the growth of microbes, their history (thank you, Joseph Lister!), and their everyday use—from cleaning wounds to hospital hygiene.  #GCSEBiology #Science

Banking

Business is all about money and banking! We dive into the key differences between commercial and personal bank accounts. #BusinessBasics #Finance101

Backups

 Teaching the art of backups: striking the balance between frequency and efficiency. Backup too often, and it may slow your workflow; not often enough, and you risk repeating lost work. Prevent data loss, work smarter!

Allotropes of Carbon

Teaching GCSE Chemistry? Bring carbon to life with 3D models of its allotropes and real examples! From diamond's brilliance to graphite's layers, fullerenes, and nanotubes, students can see and feel the structures that make carbon so versatile. #ScienceMadeFun #GCSEChemistry

 

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.
