Our Senior Physics Technician Dave Ferguson has been demonstrating the photoelectric effect on different metals. #FromThePreproom youtu.be/vuf_M2mQCBI
Replacing the Leslie cube - rethinking physics required practical 10. A thread. #FromThePreproom

So this works out to be 10 times cheaper than the off the shelf equivalent.

This will probably be the last tweet from the @upp_physics account but the hashtag #FromThePreproom will return from our main science account @Upp_Science in the near future.

Wonderful for our physics teachers and technicians to gain such high praise from @physicstp and @Newmanphysics. Mr Ferguson is indeed the "secretary weapon" of our department. @UppinghamSchool
Replying to @physicstp
Nice to start by mentioning @DrDavidBoyce and David Ferguson. I appreciate their efforts to share ways to use equipment and also how to make cheap versions of physics equipment. I like this ripple tank. Keep up the great work! #chatphysics #iteachphysics youtube.com/watch?v=CvE_MHa5…

Dr Boyce and Mr Ferguson showing how the £280 stroboscope can be replaced with one that costs £14. #FromThePreproom #iteachphysics ⚠️Flashing images in thread⚠️

So how much? As little as 60p if you already have a @bbc_microbit and £14 if not. A good example of the physics teaching and technical development occurring here at @Upp_Science at @UppinghamSchool #ForThePioneers
