Most classes have done some work recently on improving answers to the kind of questions that ask you to describe/explain/justify. I haven’t saved all of the mindmaps that have been produced but this one is fairly typical of the responses generated by a class. There is a pdf version available to download.

This amazing footage of the Saturn V rocket launch for the Apollo11 moon landing mission has been put online by Mark Gray. The video provides an extra dimension to the launch photograph in my earlier post about Newton’s 3rd law of motion. While that picture shows an enormous plume of gas being forced out of each rocket exhaust, the video below demonstrates the heat of the gases and the effect they have on the structure of the launch pad itself.

Here is the ipod video version of the ray diagram tutorial for objects more than 2 focal lengths from the lens.
This post is for Intermediate 2 only.
The final situation we need to consider is when the object is located more than two focal lengths away from the convex lens. The diagram is similar to the previous examples but needs additional points marked on the optic axis.
