It's glycine made from @snatoms x, but its IUPAC name is much more difficult to work out - A level Chemistry

An opaque plastic container on an inclined plane. Some have a high centre of mass and some have a low centre of mass. Working out which is which using an inclinometer app on a phone. Making Phones useful in the lab and devising experiments to test out

Using old and new technology together, with a tickertape recording and the @pascoscientific smart cart generating a realistic record of the journey down the track on Capstone

Looking at the shapes of molecules changing as we move across a period. Fun naming some of the shapes and working out the angles, then comparing Methane, Ammonia and Water and why the angles change

Investigating respiration using the respirometer to measure the uptake of oxygen from some germinating cress seeds. Its going to take a while so the next candidate for a time lapse

Take blue hydrated copper sulfate heat it to make white anhydrous copper sulfate. Add a little water observe the colour change and the heat given out. Some repeated it four times until they were convinced it could go on for ever.

A level Computing and I got out the #turingtumbles. I don't think I have ever seen the students so engaged. The lesson ended and they all stayed on solving problems of logic

Using the @pascoscientific spectrometer to show the same spectral lines as the simple spectrometer. the students were more convinced that the spectrometer was showing the right thing. Much easier to use and see what is going on

Using a very cheap and simple spectroscope the students with the help of the camera could observe and record the spectral emission lines from different sources
