Physics Lab Explorations
Dear fellow educators and curious minds,I am delighted to present to you my labor of love and dedication – the Physics Lab Book for Key Stage 3 and 4. As a passionate science teacher at an International school, I embarked on the journey of creating this comprehensive resource to enrich the physics learning experience for both my students and myself.Physics is a subject that comes alive when students get their hands on experiments. With this in mind, I set out to develop a lab book that not only

7 Years Later: How Does 3D Printing Filament Last Outdoors?
7 Years ago I started a experiment to see how 3D printing materials last outdoors. This is important as some filaments claim to be biodegradable. Other materials are popular to use outside for gardening projects or other uses. After 7 years of exposure in the Colorado weather, I had to retire this experiment. This report highlights each filament material from PLA, PETG, TPU and other interesting filaments!The companion YT video is now up HERE. You can have your STEM class test this further with

Walking Dead Water Filter Lab
With shows like "The Walking Dead" and others, students are interested in how to survive the Zombie Apocalypse. One thing they will need is an improvised water filter to clean dirty water. This type of water filter was seen in a episode of "The Walking Dead". It's also featured in survival shows. You will need plastic water bottles, sand, gravel, coffee filters, marbles, and any other medium you think can be used to filter water. I do NOT recommend using charcoal or ash, because when wet they ar
