  • Navigate with the Moon
    The shape of a cresent half etc moon can act as a compas in the sky. The mental exercise is good for education but in real life it turns out to be a valuable tool http://lessonpeer.com/drhillteach/Navigate%20with%20the%20Moon.mp4

  • Exploring heat in descrete packets
    Heating small objects to a fixed temperature and measuring the temperature increase of a small quanity of water when they are quenched, over and over again unlocks a more complex flow into descrete steps http://lessonpeer.com/drhillteach/Exploring%20heat%20in%20descrete%20packets.mp4

  • Lessons using Mobile Phones
    Using Phones to teach EM and electric waves, using them to measure the speed of sound. The phone has a special place in the mind of students and leads to deeper learning and inquiry http://lessonpeer.com/drhillteach/Lessons%20using%20Mobile%20Phones.mp4

  • Theordore Gray Elements - Group2
    I would have approached this differently. Covers Be Mg Sr Ba and Ra, so much more to tell. The explanation of why metals are metalic because they have metalic bonds is typical http://lessonpeer.com/drhillteach/Theordore%20Gray%20Elements%20-%20Group2.mp4

  • Theodore Grays Periodic Table Noble Gases
    I suppose I am more aware of mistakes in this area as I have built and worked with Excimer lasers, but I am really disturbed by the 8 unshielded electrons. The mistake is not so upsetting but the fact that people adopt the mistake so easily in their learning, and you have to take a major journey.... just really yuk. http://lessonpeer.com/drhillteach/Theodore%20Grays%20Periodic%20Table%20Noble%20Gases.mp4

You are welcome to listen in as I "explain things scientific". I have had great fun with lasers, robots and absorbing Quantum Physics. Now as a classroom teacher, laid low by heart surgery its time…
