3rd year students are investigating the forces generated by mousetrap catapults. Good practice on data collection and graphing skills. #JCScience #iteachscience

Starting bacteria and fungi soon. Here's a printable card sort activity to introduce the 5 kingdom and 3 domain classification systems. Have a go with your students and let me know how it goes. #LcBiology #Classification #iTeachBio #scienceteaching.

Used Google lens today to identify plants and insects for ecology field studies and it's very accurate. No need for a specialist app. #lcbiology

Testing the vapour from a fermentation flask with a cheap alcohol breath tester. Gave a result of 1.5 g/l and a satisfying danger beeping sound.
It's difficult to get a positive result in the iodoform test for small quantities of alcohol. Each group got a beep so everyone is happy.

I'm going to do a series of posts here on activities I'm doing with 2nd year science students. (Year 9s in UK I believe)
