Giving the Cyclotron a Whirl

🌀 Trying out a cyclotron! Made from a mixing bowl, copper tape & powered by a Van de Graaff generator⚡. The Ping-pong ball circled the bowl, but not too fast 🏓💨 #DIYcyclotron #sciencefun

 

Protest Vote

 I'm not answering this question because we didn't do or have demonstrated to us this required practical experiment is the answer I get when I go through exam papers in science with the students. the students just don't have the experience to answer

Carbon and Silicon

 

At first, students mistook them for shiny metals. But examining hardness, conductivity & density revealed their true nature: Graphite (carbon) & pure silicon! 🧪🔍 #ScienceExploration #MaterialsProperties

Pasco Wish List

 Something to go on my wish list for this year is a good-quality linear air track from @Pascoscientific. When I have used one before, they haven't been too good. My only problem is finding a very quiet air pump in the UK

Math isn't just Algebra and Geometry

Math isn't just Algebra and Geometry! 🤯 AQA level 3 in Mathematical Studies covers practical topics like Taxes, Student Loans, and Mortgages. Finally, useful things in Math you wish you were taught earlier! 🙌 #MathForLife #RealWorldMath

Using a spring Bond Model

Used a spring bond model to show the contrast between specific heat capacity and specific latent heat before conducting our experiments #physics #education

 

Evolution

 How do various lifeforms evolve? And why do some vastly different animals resemble each other? So many questions, so much to uncover. #evolution #biodiversity
