S1 Interdisciplinary Project Movies.

Posted by Mr Mallon on May 26, 2011

My S1 classes were involved in an interdisciplinary project early this year.
As part of their project they had to present to camera a summary of the big connection between sound vibrations and electromagnetsim which resulted in the invention of the telephone.
I am sure you will find them enjoyable.

Mr Mallon`s Higher Physics Class 2010-11

Teaching is a hard job but when your job is to teach physics to the young students above from Saint Andrew`s High Coatbridge, then your job becomes a pleasure.
The students pictured above are my higher physics class who will be sitting their Higher Physics exam tomorrow afternoon.

I wish them all the very best because they have worked hard all year despite the loss of time due to the bad weather (remember those days).
So to my Higher Physics Class 2010-11, one of the best classes I`ve taught, all the best and I will be thinking about you tomorrow.
