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

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 @Perimeter Einstein Plus program for Physics Teachers was truly a like changing experience. If you teach physics I highly recommend you apply for this program and check out all the amazing resources on the Perimeter Institute website. Thanks again Perimeter!

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.

Collecting Muons with the Edumod Muon Detector from MDetect at 39’000 ft from Melbourne to Brisbane with @VirginAustralia. The rate count went from 3.1/s at ground level to 120/s at altitude. That is a 40x increase! @astroduff @Perimeter @Swinburne

Great to attend the session on Dark Matter with ✨ Jackie Bondell ✨ @jtkst10 from @ARC_DMPP. We learnt about how Australia is trying to detect Dark Matter with the Saber South experiment. We also learned about many different ways we can engage our students in activities about DM

A momentous day in the life of a Physics Teacher. Lunch with Michael landry the Observatory Head at @LIGOWA It was great to tour the insides & outsides of LIGO alongside the amazing Jackie Bondell @jtkst10 from @ARC_OzGRav & @ARC_DMPP. We drove the length of one of the 4km arms!
