Acids, bases and alkalis are found in the laboratory and at home. The PTI is a company limited by guarantee not having a share capital registered in England & Wales (05910443) and a registered charity (1116224). Leading provider of education and office supplies.

Loudspeakers work by converting electrical energy into kinetic energy. Est. Recognised as specialists in the industry and for our excellence in customer service. - the vibrations are in the same direction as the direction of travel.The slideshow shows how you can model longitudinal waves using a long spring: The compressed area of the spring travels along its lengthSound waves are produced by all vibrating objects. On Thursday 17 th March Kingsford School held its first Science Fair.

This moves the cone which creates the sound waves.Cross-section of a loudspeaker showing how electrical signals travel in and out via the coil. Their activities generated debate across Triple Science classes and resources were uploaded onto the department’s VLE for subsequent year groups to use. This is why empty rooms produce lots of echoes.Soft, rough surfaces are good at absorbing sound. This was linked to a new Science News and Affairs board, which was promoted during lessons. Ultrasound is useful for cleaning.Engineers show us the key components in a loudspeaker and explain how they workBBC Radio sound engineer Tom Parnell talks about the different microphones and speakers used for recordings at the BBC's MediaCityUK studios in SalfordOur team of exam survivors will get you started and keep you going.

Using strategies to stretch, challenge and engage pupils and improve uptake of Triple Science When an object or substance vibrates, it produces sound. The frequency of ultrasound is above 20 kHz. The methodology is designed to give an insight into all aspects of Science and to both inform and provoke thought about the natural world. Other activities included research projects and debates for KS3 students, to develop their independent learning and presentation skills, and the incorporation of six Global Awareness days (e.g. Hard, smooth surfaces are particularly good at reflecting sound. Every class, including nursery, had the opportunity to showcase and demonstrate science they had been learning about to family, friends and visitors. Background: A smaller after-school club programme existed already, and around 8% of the year group opted to study Triple Science at GCSE.
A base that can dissolve in water is also called an alkali. The original Year 10 members of the Aquaphonics club helped to develop a new Year 7-8 Eco-Club that conducted mini research projects and trips to ecological sites. These sound waves can only travel through a solid, liquid or gas. Science at King’s College School aims to inspire an understanding of the importance of Science and to equip students with the tools to independently make sense of the phenomena they encounter in their everyday lives.

Acids and bases can neutralise each other. Earth Day) into schemes of work, to put Science into real-life context. Year 1: The after-school club programme was developed to target a broader range of interests and clubs were advertised better to students and parents. A range of teachers and external agencies was used to keep the activities engaging, and support from the SEN/EMA department helped make them accessible to all. Kingsford Community School: Aim: To provide Key Stage 3 students with a wide range of extracurricular opportunities to engage them with Science and increase Triple Science uptake.

Other pupils developed their own projects and investigations and entered competitions, winning second place at the University of Westminster Science Conference and a runner-up prize at the ‘Big Bang Near Me’ event. Learn about the properties of sound waves and how we calculate the speed of sound with BBC Bitesize KS3 Science. Sound waves are longitudinal waves that must pass through a medium, such as air. Kingsford Science Fair. This is why rooms with carpets and curtains do not usually produce lots of echoes. 59 Comparison of the Sorption of Trifluoromethane (R-23) on Zeolites and in an Ionic Liquid Mark B. Shiflett1,*, David R. Corbin1 and A. Yokozeki2 (1) DuPont Central Research and Development, Experimental Station, Wilmington, Delaware 19880, U.S.A. (2) 32 Kingsford Lane, Spencerport, New York Activities included the ‘Five on Friday’ club, a weekly five-minute whizz-bang demo which attracted large groups and used a variety of resources to stay aligned with current events.Year 2 : A weekly Aquaphonics club was extended and incorporated into the KS3 scheme of work (food webs) and KS4 scheme of work (nitrogen cycle).

Triple Science students were used as ambassadors during KS2 open events, Year 8 options evenings and during Science and Engineering week, when they ran a full-scale animal dissection, career speed dating and a cross-curricular tower-building competition.Year 3: The Triple Science Ambassador programme was made a fixture for each new cohort, and the Science VLE was revamped to improve its usability and the quality and range of resources available.

Echoes are reflections of sounds.
