S3 Physics Presentation on X-Rays

Posted by Mr Mallon on February 25, 2012

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!

Gravitational Field Strength! (Int2 and SG fourth year)

Posted by Mr Mallon on February 18, 2012

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.

Capacitors

Posted by Mr Mallon on January 21, 2012

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.
