Teacher Demo: The Nose vs. the Wrecking Ball

A pendulum is constructed from a 1.0-kg mass suspended from the ceiling, with a length of strong string long enough so that, when pulled about 40o from the vertical, the mass comes to nose level. The pendulum will be released from this position. The demonstrator is to...

Teacher Demo: Marshmallow DNA Model

This demonstration will provide students with a visual representation of the structure of DNA. Students will learn the different components that make a nucleotide, the correct base-pair connection between nitrogenous bases, and visually see the double helix structure...

Teacher Demonstration: Thinking about the Movement of Water

The distinction between diffusion and osmosis is not clear to many students. Observing coloured particles (such as food dye) diffuse in water shows direct evidence of diffusion, but the movement of water particles is not so easily observed. This demonstration prepares...

Teacher Demo: Hot Ice

Heat transfers in physical and chemical reactions have many practical applications. Exothermic reactions release heat to the surroundings, resulting in an increase in surrounding temperature. Endothermic reactions require heat from the surroundings, resulting in a...
