Electroscopes
#Alevel #Physics Getting ready for the photoelectric effect - the cheap electroscope works brilliantly with a full deflection and the expensive one won't budge today - now to find the UV Lamp #iteachphysics #STEM #Science

DVD in a Mirror lies
In my last post I looked at a DVD reflecting the light. But what happens if you put a mirror next to the DVD. The colours are changed. No surely a mirror reflects what you see so whay are their different colours in the mirror. I know you think this is a fake so try it yourself and see that this really happens.

Decarbonising the world
Mechanical disadvantage
#ALevel #Physics looking at Mechanical disadvantage in a knee/elbow joint, from a Lamb Joint to @pascoscientific tension protractor to measure the forces at different lengths from the pivot. #iteachphysics #Science #STEM This lesson works well in Biology as well so the studemts doing both subjects benefitted.
