Hi physics lovers!
Here is a link to the PhET site on refraction.

Follow the story of Apollo 10 on YouTube

Mr Mallon — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 11:47:17 +0000

This Apollo mission was the final dress rehearsal for the Apollo 11 moon landing.
This YouTube channel is a series of news specials from CBS television.

If you are of a certain age or just doing a project on the Apollo missions then this series is brilliant.

Hi Physics lovers,
Here are a few links on this wonderful topic:

This video is a recap on what happened in the lab this afternoon when Mr. McKenna, the technician, demoed the electroscope discharging when UV light was shone on the zinc plate on top of the electroscope.

This is a fantastic piece of simulation software from PhET which allows you to build electric circuits and study what happens when you change resistance or voltage.

Download the simulation by clicking on the picture.

Click to Run

To get you started why don`t you build this circuit
Investigate:

How the current in the circuit changes when the 8 ohm resistor is doubled
How the voltage will change across the 24 ohm resistor when the 8 ohm resistor is doubled.

Have some fun building more circuits and investigating the the current, voltage and resistance of the circuit.

S2 Class Microbe Note Taking Skills

Mr Mallon — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 18:40:47 +0000

My S2 class took part in a note taking exercise. They were asked to work in threes and research information on microbes.

After discussion in their respective groups a recorder had to write down the key facts they had found in their research.

Photographs were taken and uploaded into a Google Docs presentation document.

The slides from the presentation were printed off and each pupil then pasted the classes notes into their notebook or can look at the notes here.
