Investigating mint and garlic

 Microbiology at A Level: Investigating the effect of Mint and garlic extracts on bacteria cultures. Which one is the most effective and why? Are there any other plant extracts that work like this? So, in addition, we are investigating some other herbs to see if they kill bacteria too.

Hardness of the Alkali Metals

Investigating the reactivity and properties of the Alkali Metals. Cutting each of the metals in turn with a sharp scalpel. Lithium was the hardest and stayed shiny the longest, and Potassium was the easiest to cut and tarnished as it was cut.

 

Magnetic Fields

 Using the @pascoscientific magnetic field probe along with the smartcart or a rotation sensor to get a reading of the magnetic field strength as the probe moves further into different magnetic fields

Globaslisation

 A level Business Studies—Globalisation The Earth is becoming smaller, and it is often cheaper to move manufacturing items around the world to be constructed than to do them in the same country. Maybe Trump will change the way the world works.

Youngs doble slit experiment

​Exploring wave-particle duality with my A-level Physics students. Doing experiments demonstrating light behaving like a wave and also acting as particles – it’s hurts the brain how the universe plays by both rules!

 

Infection Games

 Playing an infection game to simulate the growth of an infection in a population, and then repeating the game using vaccination to see the effect this has on the rate of an infection. 

Flowcharts

 ​Teaching flowcharting is key to writing better computer programs!  It helps the students visualize logic, simplifies problem-solving, and boosts code clarity. Perfect for beginners to understand the flow and structure before diving into code.
