@pascoscientific Light Sensor day in the lab. It’s amazing how quickly “that looks brighter” becomes proper physics when students can measure illuminance in real time.

230 V isn’t actually 230 V.
The UK mains peaks at ±325 V!
RMS voltage explains why.
If you're studying A-Level Physics, this is a must-understand topic.

Old school meets new tech
Using a sonometer with a @Pascoscientific Sound Sensor lets students see frequency in real time.
Change the tension → watch the graph change instantly.
This is how physics should be taught.

Momentum suddenly makes sense when students can see it. Using @pascoscientific Smart Carts + Capstone, elastic & inelastic collisions show real-time momentum conservation—no guesswork, just physics.

Practical ≠ just “hands-on”.
Real practical skills are about:
✔ controlling variables
✔ reading data
✔ linking results to theory

Experiments don’t just happen.
Good practical science is designed, tested, and refined so students can actually see what’s going on.

You don’t need a £1,000 force plate to teach impulse. 4 load cells + HX711 + Arduino = a classroom force plate that measures force–time curves for jumps, impacts & gait experiments.

Investigating Resistance in Wires Why does a longer wire have more resistance? Why does thickness matter so much?
This classic GCSE & A-level practical brings equations to life.

You don’t need uranium to teach nuclear physics.
Use coins or dice to model radioactive decay — and measure half-life with just a graph and some stats.. hemelprivatetuition.blogspot.com/2025/12/meas...

2D or 3D magnetic field sensors?
We reviewed PASCO’s classroom-ready tools and put them to the test.
From mapping bar magnets to modelling real 3D fields—here’s what works best where. philipmrussell.blogspot.com/2025/08/pasc...

🔬 Top Resource
This week’s highlight is @phetsims.bsky.social
STEM simulations, a fantastic resource I use with my physics pupils alongside in-class experiments. Great for prompting hypotheses and discussion before diving into theory. Always sparks curiosity!

Teaching physics with a plasma ball is pure magic! It’s a brilliant way to spark curiosity about electric fields, ionisation, and how charged particles move. Students feel the science — literally! #PhysicsTeaching #STEMeducation #PlasmaBallScience
