This is what my students have to do if they forget their charger....
Smashing atoms
With Interactive physics you can add charge, magnetic field and air resistance....
Ready to investigate
So, they have used vernier calipers, light gates, video, temperature, and pressure sensors. They've studied mechanics, rotational motion, thermodynamics, SHM, circular motion and gravity as well as learning...
Max (not so) well Boltzmann
I just had a neat idea for an investigation based on an Algodoo simulation. Would a large number (56) of perfectly elastic balls bouncing around in a box have a Maxwell Boltzmann distribution of KE. I...
Cross product
When dealing with wires in B fields we make things simple by only considering examples where the field is perpendicular to the wire so that field, current and force are mutually perpendicular and Flemings...
Make!Sense
Just found out about the company Architectronics that has developed a range of very cheap and adaptable interfaces and sensors called Make!Sense. I haven't tried them yet but intend to order a set after...
50 word Reflection
After completing the group 4 project students should write a reflective statement about the experience. This might have components of: IB students are good at reflecting, they do a lot of it in the CAS...

Famous Norwegians
It's a bit embarassing but I never realised who was on the 200 Norwegian Kroner note. Maybe It's because I keep them all safely locked up in my wallet. Anyway, today we had a visit from Pål Brekke one...
