AQA GCSE Physics looks at ‘energy imbalance’ for Earth. This graphic is fabulous for reinforcing their learning: red line up, as T is rising. Black line up, as GHG levels higher and dimming reduced (shipping emissions cleaner). Stark. No equilibrium in sight. #IteachPhysics #TeachSDGs

For folks in the Northern Hemisphere, yesterday had the earliest sunset. Sunsets are starting to get later, even though the amount of daylight will continue to shrink until December 21. Confused? Blame gravity. www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/eq...
Equation of Time
The difference between the time measured by the Sun and the time measured by our clocks is known as the equation of time.

🎢 Darek Dewey has some of the most surprising and creative demos and I hope to see him here soon! "No matter what angle you drop the rod at it always ends up straight at the bottom of brachistochrone curves."

Another example for my second years doing a topic on light. Love it!
If you haven’t tried this then it is good fun. Best with a light coloured lego mini figure or similar.

🎢 Brilliant demonstration from @cossettej.bsky.social of the relationship between normal force and friction force on a car.

You can also use a Hot Hands heat pack, but it's slower.
Increasing the mass of steel wool by expediting the oxidation process with a 9V battery. Mesmerizing 😍

Great collection of videos of physics demonstrations with good explanations and instructions to do it yourself.
Lots more videos with tips on how best to carry out demonstrations and practicals here alomshaha.com/project-type... and alomshaha.com/portfolio/vi...
