A 3D printed AC induction motor. In the video and picture we only have 2 phases connected. Watch it spin faster. This is part of Jacob’s Depth Study into electromagnetism they build a teaching tool for Physics. #physics #physicsteacher @ASTA_online @sydney_physics @ausphysics

This is a sneak peak of Jaydah’s Yr.12 Physics project as part of her Build a Teaching Tool task. She made a Faraday Motor. Initially she used Salt Water as the conducting material, then swapped it out for Gallium which is more conductive @IOPTeaching @ausphysics @sydney_physics

PROJECT COMPLETE! 🎉🎊🥳 LEGO LIGO Version 4! This working model Michelson interferometer which can detect sub-millimetre vibrations will be used to teach students about the detection of Gravitational Waves by @ARC_OzGRav Co-designed by myself @ScienceWithMat & @frankmadethis

The Lego Ligo! ~ Michelson Interferometer. This was designed by myself @ScienceWithMat and Frank @frankmadethis. Complete with 3D printed mirror mounts & @EdmundOptics mirrors.Looking forward to sharing this @jtkst10 @ARC_OzGRav @ozgravityguru @LIGOMagazine @LIGOWA @LIGO @LIGOLA

How cool are these planets! One of my Yr.12 Physics students painted 🎨🖌️the styrofoam planet models that we were using in our 🌏 exoplanet 🪐activity. They look so good!

resources.perimeterinstitute… Student Activty 5 was great as a revision / extension activity on Keplers Laws. Pair it with this clip and it’s a slam dunk teaching activity. youtu.be/c8re1U9rCo4?si=kRzE…

Glen Innes students Learning about Exoplanets and the Trappist 1 System as well as measuring the mass of the Sagittarius A* Black Hole at the core of the Milky Way Galaxy. The resources are from the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Canada 🇨🇦 . See the links below.

Great to share my Hot Wheels Physics Lab with other teachers from around Australia in a free online Zoom. As you can see in the video, students launch the cars horizontally off the bench and do all the calculations to land the car in a cup. @stansw @ASTA_online @PhysicsANU

The Fighting Dragons of Ara. Hobbies are important and get us to focus on something that isn’t work and something we can calmly do in our own time. @Celestron RASA 8” @zwoastro 533MM @baader_astro Hydrogen Alpha and Oxygen(iii) narrowband filters. @SkyWatcherUSA EQ6R HOO Palette

Thanks for the shout out @baader_astro. Love your fast filter for my Celestron RASA. I am looking forward to adding Sulphur data tonight to generate a SHO image.
