Pencil Lead nuclear reactor

Pencil leads are a mixture of clay and graphite so have a ideal resistance to glow white hot when hooked up to a school electrical power supply. When placed in water they heat for a time then crack due to the ingress of water. This an ideal hands on way to teach about nuclear power stations.

Sodium Explodes

Sodium in floats in water, heating up until its vapour explodes

A Quantum Physicist gets serious about pod-casting

The absolute truth about being a Quantum Physicist is summarized in these two points

1. Many things make sense to you because you get the deeper ideas of Quantum Physics
2. Most people do not want to invest even the smallest amount of time in gaining new understanding.

So this being said, don't over think things but just experience some of the maths working for you in this Web App

So just click on this image and you will be taken to what looks like a App gallery. It is in fact a crystal of knowledge.  Yes there is totally new maths and new forms of numbers involved. Double click on the 25 or 23 tile to hear the podcasts.

I have a hunch about which culture will understand this first so if you get it please drop a short email to me on drhillteach@gmail.com. To put you in the picture: it is like an alien space ship has crash landed and we are trying to make sense of their hard drive.  Not everyone will get it.

Here's Pride and Prejudice and here is Genesis

I am a robotics scientist and just have labview reading my computer and it effortlessly creates the Web App live as I type. The web and social implications are staggering.

Also included is a Podcast talking you through it. Enjoy, it really is an experience.  I still have a sense of awe as it does so much.

Atomic Bomb in a beaker

This podcast describes how to recreate a thermonuclear blast in the classroom, and teach some valuable atmospheric physics

This is a video of students performing the experiment.

HR diagram for High School

The building of a 3D edible HR diagram where the stars a cakes hung on string, and coloured with icing is described.

Astrophysics for high school

Get your class to download Celestia

Get them to chase stars and log them in a Hertzsprung Russel diagram

Then do the star dance

Year 8 Chocolate rock lesson

Starting with different blocks of chocolate, students grate them to simulate weathering, move the grated chocolate to simulate erosion, carry it to a river bed of Al foil to simulate transport, sprinkle it to simulate deposition, enclose and sit on it to simulate cementing, then bend to simulate geological folding of strata

Quiet Talk on Graphs and Charts

A general talk on the difference between charts and graphs and some of the deep ideas in graphs.

Unpacking Principle Quantum Number

Podcast Almost everyone I know doesn't pick up on the distinctions between Period Number (Periodic Table), Principle Quantum Number (Bohr atom = radial + angle +1) and the more fundamental shape quantum number.  Without mastering this distinction there is bound to be much confusion that is often mistaken for mystery/

Through the thunder cloud

Podcast.  Ride a hail stone as it grow sheathed in super cooled water, Jump into a Van der Graff generator and think about a giant one powering an Australian Internet data center at Australia's Mawson Base.

Philo

Thales the first philosopher

Thales was the first philosopher and looked at the origin of stuff. Numbering the about 48 philosophers over the first 1000 years of thought makes the ideas easier to handle.

The origin of the word Academic

Academos  was given a house in Athens when his quick thinking saved the city from some angry Spartans. You wouldn't believe who they were looking for. Years later when Plato used his house, the Academy education got a new word with the most unlikely of origins.

Electron Configuration - Explanation Configuration

A simple easy to teach description of how many electrons fill each of the shells of an atom is the "2 8 8 2 " configuration. The steps after this require students learn a new trick as it goes "2 8 9 2" all the way to  "2 8 18 2" not "2 8 8 18" as is being taught. Listen to a Quantum Physicists trying to make sense of what is going on in the classroom.

Reason to train

Podcasting while you walk is great rehabilitation training. It improves  1.Skills 2. Confidence. 3. Meta-cognition. The talk covers Rommel vs Morshead, and a casual conversation with a Glenbrookian.

An Australian Classroom - kahoot!

Listen to a scientist on the outside looking in on an Australian classroom. Brimming with potential, certainly if we can get a move on in the lab and get our act together.

The heart in the womb

Ever wondered about the cable that plugged you into Mum while you were inside her "tummy"?Engineers could not help noticing a central tube with twin smaller tubes spiraling around the outside. What is going on!

River of life

Don't get stuck up the tree of life, raft through history down the river of evolution. Discover how the hardy first primitive life survives the deadly newcomers and triumphs in the Frankenstein complex cells that went from ponds and ultimately in the form of humans to the moon.

Eyes on the prize

Ready or not Australia is pushing ahead with 40 % professional grade research in High School to fuel our STEM resurgence.  It sounds like a plan. Let't go!

Why the sad face, Lu?

Some say ANSTO, Australia's medical and research nuclear reactor is giving out Periodic Tables with lutetium in the wrong position.  This children's fantasy book imagines a world where the Chief Scientist work with the Element Kids to solve problems and help children discover science.
