My new @pascoscientific light box from @SciChemEdu arrived and now I can try to get the human eye model to work using this arrow arrangement on the light. Seems to be a good light source with different slits to try out. #iteachphysics

Glass Bending
Bending glass stirring rods to make petri dish spreaders for making a lawn of bacteria. Couldn't find any to buy so made my own. The students like learning to heat and bend glass to make useful parts. #STEM #microbiology
