Charles Law

 


#Physics Charles Law done properly with a Bourdon Gauge to measure the pressure going up from 1 x10^5 Pascals to 1.3x10^5 Pascals As the temps rises so does the pressure #iteachphysics

Concentration

 #chemistry Looking at concentration. Copper Sulfate works well giving a visible indication of the concentration and so does orange squash ( and the students can drink that to check the concentration). #chemtwitter #STEMeducation

Boyles Law


 #iteachphysics Getting ready to do some of the gas laws. This is Boyles law. It relates pressure to volume. As the pressure increases the volume deceases #physics

Lever Arm Balance

 #Physics Weighing the calculator using an old fashioned but accurate Lever Arm Balance. When I was at school this was the best machine we had, nowadays the students seem to reject it but are still fascinated in how it works. #iteachphysics

Polarising Filters and a light sensor


 #Physics Two large polarising filters and a @pascoscientific light sensor and rotation sensor looking at how light levels change as the second ring is rotated. Working on the video and calibrating the rotation sensor #iteachphysics
