The Big Fall - History of STEM practicals - Free-fall, Motion and Momentum

(0)
Practical 16 in the History in STEM practical series. This practical set focuses, first and foremost on replicating Gallileo’s famous free-fall experiment. Students use modern technology to record with slow motion video and calculate an object in free-fall’s velocity, momentum and acceleration. There is also a proof of concept to show that surface area, not mass, is a major factor in determining acceleration. Finally, using YouTube, they look at momentum in moving vehicles, using technology to analyse video frame by frame to get an estimate of a cars velocity, momentum and accelaration. As always, it includes an introduction covering the history of the theory across multiple continents and over a period of over 2000 years. 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.

A year already? - History of STEM practicals - Trig, Angles + Astronomy

Practical 14 in the History in STEM practical series. With the upcoming equinox, this is the perfect moment to try out this practical. The more indepth version of Measuring the World - Circumference of Circles, this extended practical takes place over 3 months, recording the angle of the shadow at solar noon once a week to determine a host of information, such as the latitude of the city you live in, the tilt of the earth’s axis, confirm dates of solstices and equinoxes as well as calculate the circumference of the Earth. Each weekly measurement takes no more than 5 minutes, and can be done in small groups on rotation. After the 3 months, graph your data and have a look at the trends to deduce the range of information described above. The end result is a project that covers angles, graphs, and an optional triganometry component for advanced level students. There is even a task that a photography class could tackle to get even more accurate results and add an additional layer of cross-curriculum goodness. Don’t forget each comes with an introduction covering the history of the topic in question, in this instance, calendars. The file is editable to suit your needs.

Photosensitive Paper - History of STEM practicals - Room With A View Part 2

(0)
Practical 18 in the History in STEM practical series. This is part 2 of a 2 part series of practicals covering the history and development of the camera. This practical starts looking at producing and developing photo paper using a pinhole camera and household chemicals, and is followed by a method to produce photosensitive paper using silver nitrate and sodium chloride. As always, there is an intro looking at the history of the camera and photo development, including its use across the world and a quick look at its discovery. The practical is probably best suited for 90 minutes, to give students time to explore.

Spread of Disease - History of STEM practicals - It's Catchy

(0)
Practical 19 in the History in STEM practical series. This practical starts with a model of how disease could be spread through a population, using a simple alkaline and acid/base indicator to give a big reveal. This is followed by another small teacher demo to show the importance of washing hands, followed by a final activity where students can see just how well they actually wash their hands with some simple tools. Given the lockdown being the topic of the moment, this practical is as relevant as ever. With an introduction covering the major epidemics throughout history, as well as a look at how our modern techniques to combat disease developed, this has all you need to have an exciting set of lessons on the topic of disease.

Forces - History of STEM practicals - Pykrete

(0)
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.
