My fellow physics teacher Mr Mackenzie from Thurso has produced a wonderful little movie summarizing what we talked about last day in physics, namely Total internal reflection.

I will let Mr Mackenzie explain:

Here is my S3`s first Google Docs collaborative presentation on the topic of X-Rays.

21st Century pupils can now carry out research at home while sharing their findings with other fellow students.
This is a powerful way to study and learn.

Well done S3 physicists!

Hi physics lovers!

The gravitational field strength tells us how much force a planet exerts on each kilogram of mass.

Read the cartoon and see if you can find a link between the mass of an object, its weight and gravitational field strength of the planet.

Following our bin bag capacitor experiment fun yesterday here is a video on the little characters themselves:

Here is a sketch of our bin bag capacitor we made yesterday.

Essentially a capacitor consists of two metal plates separated by an insulator, in this case a plastic bin bag.
