| Abstract | Paul Preece at Camborne Science and Community College demonstrates the classic combustion experiment with a candle in a sealed bell jar. By putting carbon dioxide, oxygen and humidity sensors inside the jar as the candle burns, pupils can see for themselves exactly what's happening inside the jar, as the three graphs are projected in real time on the whiteboard. In this complete lesson, Paul leads up to the demonstration by introducing his Year 7s to the concept of chemical reactions and to the combustion process itself. This activity was one of several that contributed to a joint ASE/BECTA project exploring how the creative use of ICT in the classroom can support traditionally hard to teach science topics. This is an extended version of one of the lessons featured in Hard to Teach - Secondary Science Using ICT - see http://www.teachers.tv/video/34483. |
| Abstract | Paul Preece at Camborne Science and Community College and his class of Year 9s investigate acceleration with the traditional trolley rolling experiment. Here the pupils use light gates to accurately capture the speed of the passing trolley at different positions on the slope so they have more time to analyse their results and consider what they mean. In this complete lesson, Paul demonstrates the equipment and explains the data his students are expected to collect. They then set off to do the experiment, which involves team work and organisation as well as using the ICT. This activity was one of several that contributed to a joint ASE/BECTA project exploring how the creative use of ICT in the classroom can support traditionally hard to teach science topics.

| Abstract | In this complete lesson, Paul Preece at Camborne Science and Community College introduces his Year 11s to the concept of acids and alkalis and to the idea of pH. He then demonstrates the classic neutralisation process, but with a pH probe connected to a data logger to show on the whiteboard in real time exactly how the pH curve changes during the reaction. After the demonstration, the students analyse the pH curve and consider in more detail what it represents. This activity was one of several that contributed to a joint ASE/BECTA project exploring how the creative use of ICT in the classroom can support traditionally hard to teach science topics. |
