Practical 12 in the History in STEM practical series. In practical 12 we take a closer look at the history of biomagnifcation, by taking a trip through history to look at the impact of mercury over the years. With examples from the ancient Rome all the way to modern Japan, it gives the students a good idea of the human impact on the environment through the release of toxins. After that, we turn our attention to more modern times, by playing “bioMAGNIFIED” a card game simulation of bioaccumulation in the ocean food web. All cards are provided, with instructions and include mini and maxi cards, as well as coloured backs to help the students quickly sort the cards at the end of a game. More about the History in STEM practical Series This series is designed to bring quality cross-curricula material to STEM subjects, that help students to explore and discover phenomena normally taught, while getting a glimpse into the history of its development. In addition, a number of the practicals give the students the opportunity to play “Mythbusters”, looking at a number of different methods and having to reason why one or the other was the more likely or useful method. From Ancient Greece to Vikings, China to the Golden age of the Muslim empire and beyond to India, the series takes a look at some of the most important STEM achievements throughout history. There is a plan for 40 of these such practicals in this series, so, if you liked this one, consider looking at some of the others, or check out some of the bundles available.

Practical 17 in the History in STEM practical series. This is part 1 of a 2 part series of practicals covering the history and development of the camera. This practical starts looking at the camera obscura and gives a variety of uses for the phenomona, including as an eclipse viewer and as a full room camera obscura. As always, there is an intro looking at the history of the camera obscura, including its use across the world and a quick look at its discovery. The practical could be completed in as little as 45 minutes, but is probably best suited for 90 minutes, to give students time to explore.

Practical 20 in the History in STEM practical series. This practical experiment looks at a material, Pykrete, developed during WWII that was ultimately deemed a failure, but is perfect for testing forces and strength of different materials. Comparing up to 4 versions of ice with different added components to augment the properties, students will test its strength and ability to hold masses of increasing size, as well as time how the added substances effect melting time. A great way to look at a number of physics themes for any class already looking at WWII in their history lesson. Note: You need a freezer in order to complete this practical, all other materials should be able to be obtained relatively easily.
