Peter Hill Explains episodes

  • Basic Atomic and Nuclear Physics for school.
    Having actually done some of these experiments I comment. Podcast I had read this below earlier in the day and podcasted while walking at night From the syllabus: Structure of the Atom Inquiry question: How is it known that atoms are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons? Students: ● investigate, assess and model the experimental evidence supporting the existence and properties of the electron, including:  – early experiments examining the nature of cathode rays – Thomson’s charge-to-mass experiment  – Millikan's oil drop experiment (ACSPH026)  ● investigate, assess and model the experimental evidence supporting the nuclear model of the atom, including:  – the Geiger-Marsden experiment  – Rutherford’s atomic model – Chadwick’s discovery of the neutron (ACSPH026)

  • Synthetic Life
    #Cosmos Magazine - This is Genetic engineering to make designer lifeforms.  There is an interesting twist at the end where economic scarcity that drove the initial investments later evaporated. Podcast

  • New HSC Physics Syllabus
    For Australian ears only.  I just crash through reading the content only. There is a lot of detail squirreled away in here, so it is harder to tick off as was in the earlier syllabus. The last module is just the Quanta to Quark component of the old course. Podcast

  • Coral Evolution
    #Cosmos Magazine - really good article as you learn how coral works and get across the issues. Podcast

  • Year 11 Physics syllabus - Content only
    Reading the syllabus end to end, had too much complexity. Here I just focus on what is to be taught. There is some new content with determining the magnetic field out from a wire and with in solenoid http://www.oocities.org/soho/2003/em4_4.htm . My personal opinion is that the equations of motion SUVAT is poor value for education rather than the use of subscripts  Podcast

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…
