Free physics software March 5, 2009
Posted by mrmackenzie in : AH Physics, Electronics, Health Physics, Higher, Int1 Practical Electronics, Intermediate 2, Standard Grade, Transport, Using Electricity , add a commentI’ve had an email from Yenka to say that they are now offering many of their products for home use – free of charge! I think Yenka is the new name for Crocodile Clips, the company who made Crocodile Physics and Crocodile Technology. Their software allows you to create your own experiments to learn about
- motion – SG transport, Int2 unit1, Higher unit1, AH unit1
- electricity – SG using electricity, Int2 unit1, Higher unit2, AH unit2
- light and sound – SG health physics, Int2 unit3, Higher unit3, AH unit3
- electronics – Int1 applied practical electronics, SG electronics, Int2 unit2, Higher unit2
They also have some chemistry products you might find helpful.
The software is free but you can only use it at home. Why not download it and see if you find it useful.
S4 Transport – extra notes about forces and energy February 11, 2007
Posted by mrmackenzie in : Transport , add a commentWe’ve completed the unit of Transport now. I have uploaded the summary notes we went through on forces, work, power and energy. I’ve also made up 2 sets of notes to show you how to work your way through different types of problems based on potential and kinetic energy. All of the documents are pdf files.
S4 reaction times December 14, 2006
Posted by mrmackenzie in : Transport , add a commentWhen we started the transport unit a couple of weeks ago, we investigated the reaction times of different people in the class by getting them to time how long it took for Andrew’s plasticine to fall from the ceiling to the floor.
I found a great game on the BBC website that will allow you to measure (and perhaps improve) your own reaction time . Why don’t you try it for yourself and post your best times in a comment.
