Magneticforces in a wire

Measuring the magnetic field forces in a wire using an electronic balance with different voltages and recording the orientation of the field according to the electronic flow. 

 

Liver as a catalyst

 Comparing Catalase in the Liver as a catalyst with Potassium Iodide to look at the different rates and how effective enzymes are. We managed to cook the liver pieces with the violence of the reaction.

Raspberry Pi Server

 Resources are always a problem in teaching, and letting students build and maintain their own servers is only possible using Raspberry Pi computers running Linux. The students learn so much from building and running their own computer systems.

Exothermic Reaction

Adding Magnesium turnings to copper sulfate gave a nice temperature rise recorded on @pascoscientific Capstone. Different groups doing different experiments meant that we could easily share the data.

 

Magnetic field

 Measuring the changes in magnetic field with distance, using @pascoscientific magnetic field sensor and the smartcard to provide the position information.

Lightbox and Graphs

 Comparing two graphs can be difficult. If they are on a computer, then it's simple, but paper graphs need a lightbox so that one can be seen through the other.

Particle accelerator

 Building a PingPong ball accelerator with the students from some sticky copper strips and a mixing bowl powered by a Van de Graaf generator. It's not exactly fast, but it does move.
