Make a balance from a single sheet of A4 paper that will weight things up to about 3g (more with simple modifications) accurate to 0.01g. YES REALLY! A class can each make one of these in a few minutes and actually use it in experiments, then they can put them in the back of their books for next lesson. This is an indispensable piece of scientific equipment that cost less than ½p!

OCR GCSE GATEWAY SCIENCE SUITE 2016 Electrical Cables Controlled Assessment Practical Preparation Additional science B B723 / Physics B753 / Further Additional Science B B763 Five experiments for students to prepare for controlled assessment. Suitable as a standalone double lesson or over a longer period with electrical resistance theory. 1 Tensile strength; 2 Resistance and type of metal; 3 Resistance and cross-sectional area; 4 Resistance and temperature; 5 Resistance and length. These experiments have been fully tested and work well with simple equipment from the prep room. I’ve done all the trial and error work for you! (Who’d have thought it takes 1.5-1.7 kg to break 36 swg constantan wire?) All variables covered allowing students to discover relationships with resistance or tensile strength. Experiment 4 enables students to write a meaningful risk assessment in due course. Curriculum
