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

"Introduction to High School Physics" - Stations Lab - Distance Learning
This is a student-lead, stations science lab I developed teaching High School Physics. Once I got it developed, it save ME tons of prep time, so I am sure it will save YOU tons of prep time. The students are always psyched when they come into class and see the stations set up, and it ends up being a relaxing day for me as well. My classes were usually no larger than 15-20. Thus, if you have larger classes, you may need to double up on a couple of the stations to make sure everyone has someth

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
