Physics teachers. This is a very cheap Lenz's Law demo. Just some magnets and catering foil! 🙂 #chatphysics #iteachphysics

I realized our half life conversation needed something hands on but I didn't have any of my usual activities ready to go. I ended up challenging my 9th graders to rip a piece of paper in half as many times as they could and it was one of my most successful lessons of the week 😅

A sound-bell jar demonstration with the @pascoscientific wireless sound sensor in an evacuated bell jar. Watch pressure readings on the gauge and bell sound level readings on the graph. A neat comparison of sound and e/m (bluetooth) waves. #iteachphysics
